You can donate your babies cord blood and it's free of charge to donate the baby cord blood.
If you do not want to keep the cord blood yourself and want to donate the baby cord blood you can do so.
Just let your doctor or the hospital know that you want to donate the babies cord blood and they can get the cord blood sent off for cord blood banking and storage.
The cord blood banking is safe for both the mother and the baby because the cord blood comes from the umbilical cord and not the baby or mother itself.
Cord blood banking is also a good idea for the baby if there is a history of cancer in your family.
The cord blood banking and storage is not all that expensive if you want to store the cord blood yourself.
However if you prefer to donate the babies cord blood then that is okay as well and free of charge.
