Your work with polymer fascinates me with its subtlety and indigenous look. I support and encourage baby-wearing
and breastfeeding to all the women with whom I come in contact as I go thru my days taking care of little ones. I
enjoy your blog for its honesty and forthrightness. Thanks for sharing your life.

Thank you, Lynda!
Placenta Encapsulation—Three Days Postpartum Comparison... (2011-10-24 08:22)
I’ve been wanting to write a quick post about placenta encapsulation for ages. I had it done after Alaina
was born and I’m a total convert. A month or so ago, the topic came up on a breastfeeding email list I
belong to, with concern raised by several IBCLCs about the possibility of hormonal disruption of milk supply
with placenta ingestion. Several women stated that they would not be comfortable doing it until there is
some real evidence to support it. All I had to offer to the conversation was my own personal experience
(and, I’m well aware that the plural of anecdote is NOT ”data”) and also the observation that it is common
practice for mammals to ingest the placenta. Of course, mammals eat it all at once and don’t powder it
