I wont say it’s necessary, but it’s good to have and depends on your beliefs and financial ability. Actually, based on what I managed to find out, the most expensive package to store cord blood, tissue and lining is around $9-11k for Cordlife for 21 years. If u take $11k and divide that by 21 years, it’s about $43.65/month, around the same as or less than buying an insurance policy. So why is it said to be more expensive, other than the fact that you’re looking at the entire figure? Also, you can pay for it with CDA, whereas if buy baby insurance, confirm cannot use CDA, yet parents are willing to fork out the same or if not, more, to buy insurance for baby which also, may or may not use. However, must remember, if no money to pay for surgery, can borrow money. If no cord blood to use for surgery, borrow from who? If you’re undecided, you can read this for more info on why or why not to store: https://www.sgbudgetbabe.com/2018/09/should-i-store-or-donate-my-babys-cord.html?m=1
