Most of us wouldn’t think that there’s any use for umbilical cords after the baby is born.
But did you know that they can be kept forever?
Huaxia Taimaobi Centre preserves umbilical cords and turns them into unique gifts for parents to bless their children.
Superstitious people can go to great lengths for good fortune, and preserving the umbilical cord is believed to do just that for the baby.
Huaxia Taimaobi Centre keeps the baby’s umbilical cord in a crystal stamp engraved with your little one’s name.
You might think, ew, won’t the umbilical cord decompose?
The umbilical cord is dried and preserved. People believe that this practice will bestow good fortune unto your child for the rest of his or her life.
Free haircut services are also available for your newborns. Apparently, placing your baby’s first tuft of hair with the umbilical cord within the stamp will bring him or her extra good luck.
Called the Umbilical Cord Stamp, each product ranges from $38 to $388, depending on the design and materials chosen.
Want to make it more unique? You can get one in the zodiac of your child!
All these designs are available at their outlet just across KK Hospital. Parents can head on over to check out the store, before or after a post-natal appointment.
Parents who want an unconventional way of marking the birth of a new child, may want to consider preserving your baby’s umbilical cord.
We’re sure the stamp making process – and the birth of your child – will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that remains unforgettable.
Other than KK Hospital, they also have an outlet opposite Thomson Medical Centre and a factory you can visit to see the process for yourself.
