Eating your baby’s placenta: how healthy is this practice?
According to the portal Mayo Clinicspecializing in health issues, is called placentophagy to the action of eating the placenta after giving birth, which “can be harmful” for both mother and baby.
The site explains that “the placenta is an intricate organ that nourishes the growing fetus by exchanging nutrients and oxygen, as well as filtering waste through the umbilical cord.”
In recent years, this practice that was believed to be a minority has gained more followers and it is now easy to find articles and recipes that guarantee the presumed benefits of placentophagy for health.
Its defenders claim that it helps mothers fight postpartum depression, increase their energy levels and even stimulate the production of breast milk, but the truth is that until now There are no scientific studies to substantiate these claims..
Women who join this practice usually ask for preparations to be able to consume the placenta, including the creation of a capsule, which is done by steaming and dehydrating the placenta or by processing the raw placenta. Some people are also known to eat the raw placentacooked or, in shakes and liquid extracts.
However, the Mayo Clinic warns that “these preparations do not completely eliminate the infectious bacteria and viruses that the placenta could contain”.
Due to the rise of placentophagy among mothers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued statements warning of the risks. They also documented a case in which a newborn developed group B streptococcus after the mother took placental pills containing this group of bacteria and then breastfed the baby.
