Cord blood contains all the normal elements of blood-red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. But it is also rich in hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells, similar to those found in bone marrow. This is why cord blood can be used for transplantation as an alternative to bone marrow.
Cord blood contains potentially lifesaving cells called stem cells. (The stem cells in cord blood are different from embryonic stem cells.) For cord blood storage, you have two main options: You can donate your baby's cord blood to a public cord blood bank for anyone who needs it. You can pay to store your baby's cord blood in a private cord blood bank for your family's use.
