  3. Yes, I agree completely with the two previous comments. I was disgusted watching this video thinking how so many parents and babies are being cheated by not being told that they can allow the cord blood to actually enter into the body of the baby at the time of birth, instead of cutting the cord immediately. That is the way nature intended, that the placenta be birthed, and as it continues to contract the baby receives the cord blood. This way the child receives those essential immune factors.
  4. This is clearly sponsored information and not researched/unbiased. While collecting fetal/ neonatal blood may be life saving for some families, immediate cord clamping has been shown significantly lower the baby's blood volume at birth and produce inadequate iron stores for normal development. The interference of 'cord' blood collection in normal physiology for mother and baby is not without risk. Parents can research fetal-to-neonatal transition and optimal cord clamping for more information.
  5. This is bullshit. How about you explain to parents that this procedure causes children to be anemic and low in iron even at 6 months. 4th OPTION, you let the baby actually get ALL OF their cord blood so they have a chance to actually fight off the infections and diseases in the future. This is about money. The companies can get stem cells from menstruation blood from women but that is not interesting to them. Easier to steal it from infants so they have higher risk of disease when adults. Jerks.
