Hi Double E,


Woah!! Yes, both my kids have their stem cord blood stored by Stemcord. Thanks for sharing and do let us know if the procedure is worth doing.

I have good news to share.

Anyone of you store your kid's blood in Stemcord? I called stemcord for a billing matter today and they shared that there is this new Regenerative Therapy approved by MOH which allows a kid to use back his own cord blood for treatment of disorders such as ASD and Cerebal palsy. Is a simply procedure of injecting the cord blood into the kid's blood stream through needles, no operation needed.

I am going to find out more from the medical officer from Stemcord, will share here if it is something worth trying.

Double E, I am keen to know too.

When they say treatment, what does it mean? I would be surprised if this indication is approved by the Ministry. As it is, there is currently no treatment of ASD and there is no scientific evidence otherwise.

I have emailed Stemcord, they have not gotten back to me. Will update once I hear from them. The sales lady I spoke to was very confident thought I am not not sure if that’s her tactic of trying to stop me from terminating the storage contract.

According to her is just injecting the cord blood back to the kid’s blood stream.

Hi mommies,


I am looking for a new kindergarten (not CC) for my DS for next year. The current school that he goes to is a playgroup and doesn’t teach academic stuff so students can at most stay until N2, he is in N1 this year. I am looking for 1 in the west (Clementi/west coast/holland/pasir panjang/pandan gardens). Kindly help if you can!

I am not being kiasu start so early to find as I read in the earlier posts that ImMeeMee took over a year to find a suitable school for her DD3!

Mommies can give advice on whether to reveal our darling’s condition anot? I am more inclined to do it as I feel that if the school is sympathetic, we can work hand-in-hand together. Some friends were suggesting church schools as the principals are usually more kind-hearted but the con is usually the class size is very big! Usually 2 teachers to 24 students for N2? All advice are welcome!

Yes, couragemom, it took me close to a year to get my doter into a suitable mainstream CC. I guess it was a bit 天时地利人和as well cos there were situations where I found a suitable CC but could not enrol her for other reasons.

My experience was that most mainstream CCs are fully booked with long wait lists. So its not KS at all for wanting to start early, esp if our children have more conditions to think about in getting the right fit.

I am for declaring the child's condition to the school teachers, and all along I had always stated upfront my doter's condition when I spoke to the Ps and teachers about enrolment. I guess its only fair that we do not blindsight the school team on the child's condition if we already know, and agree with you that its easier to work hand-in-hand with the school team when they are knowledgeable. I also shared with the teachers on what to look out for and how she was coping in EIPIC school, so that the teachers could have some reference.

HTH.
