Can collecting the cord blood harm the baby?

Because the cord blood is collected after the baby is born and the cord is cut, the collection does not affect the mother, the baby or the birth in any way. We do not interfere with the birth and do not require a blood sample the baby. Remember, the cord blood is taken from the placenta and cord, which – in most cases – is simply discarded after the birth.
