Ya I agree with organic mama... don't have to be so mean! From my own research and thoughts I wouldn't but I wouldn't call someone a cannibal for it! Anyone that can look at that thing and decide to eat it to benifit themselves and thier baby is a hero to me whether or not I agree with the benifits. In china, people eat aborted babies, and in China, I don't beleive there is a cap on when one can abort considering thier own government gives forced abortions at any time. That is absolutely disgusting and cannibalism, I don't think you can compare a woman with the best intentions with a cannibal.

How are these moms who eat it able to tell if it helps with their milk production or with postpartum? Are they some how able to tell how they would have produced milk and what their mood would be like if they didn't ingest their placenta? Even if they are comparing it to past pregnancies where they didn't ingest it, it still wouldn't make much of a difference because women respond so differently to each pregnancy, postpartum included.

You may as well take a dump and eat it. I hear dogs get lots of nutrients from doing that. Sorry but thats disgusting:/-
