Cord blood banking...Lifebank vs. CBR

JoogleJoogle
in July 2011 Moms

I have to tell my doctor which of these banks I want to use at my appointment tonight, and I can't make up my mind.  Besides cord blood banking, LIfebank offers placenta cord banking and CBR offers cord tissue banking (for an extra fee of course).  I think I will just do the cord blood banking.  On LB's website, there are 30 cases of banked blood that was used to treat a patient, and on CBR's there's over 100.  I'm not sure if that's the entire population of each, or just a sample for illustration.  CBR says they store the blood in 4 segments so it can be used at different times, for testing, etc., which seems like a good idea, but LB doesn't mention this.  Anyone have any knowledge/input?  Thanks!

    Personally, we are going with ViaCord.  I'd go with either CBR or ViaCord as they have done the most transplants.

    We looked at life bank also but ended up going with CBR. If you sign up for their emails they send you codes we got one to save $350.
