Umbilical Cord Blood Bank

Cord Blood banking?

Does anyone know how much it costs (approximately) to bank your baby's cord blood? How long is cord blood banking good for?

1. very expensive and it is a waste of money.
2. If you use the best-known national bank 'Cord Blood Registry', it runs from $1500 to $2000, depending on how you choose to pay. Pay all at once, and you receive a discount. You can also make monthly payments if you can't swing that much. But it is a service that you'll pay for long term, and the yearly cost is around $100 or so. Best of luck to you, and I commend you on considering this 'gift'. :-)
3. if you do via cord..it is about 125.00 a year..i think its worth it..my husband and i are gonna look into it..good luck..
