Parental Control, Episode 44: Everything You Need To Know About Cord Blood And Stem Cell Banking

My Baba’s Editor Ellie Thompson welcomes Amanda Williamson from Future Health Biobank to discuss the importance of cord blood and stem cell banking.

Ellie quizzes Amanda on everything from the basics, i.e. what is stem cell and cord blood banking? What can stem cells do? How does it compare to dental pulp banking? To the very logistics of how stem cell collection is organised, when the collection is made, and how the whole process can seamlessly fit into your birth plan.

Amanda also shares her expert advice on the things to consider when choosing a stem cell bank for your child.

Nala's Dream by Taylan Kurtul

Nala’s Dream is a magical children’s story with an incredibly poignant story behind it. It was first imagined by five-year-old Taylan Kurtul, who dreamed up an adventure in which his real-life kitten, Nala, travels into space. Taylan sadly died in February 2024, just eight months after being diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour. His mum lovingly brought the story he created to life as a book in his memory, celebrating Taylan’s wonderful imagination while raising vital funds for Brain Tumour Research. A beautiful legacy filled with adventure, love and a little boy’s magic.
