“Hi there!I have a question that I wondered if Aunty Lactivist may be able to help me with, though it’s not directly related to breastfeeding.
I have been doing some reading recently about placental encapsulation. I’m intrigued about using my placenta to help with post partum depression, as well as the possibility that it can also help with milk supply. I was wondering if any of your readers had done this with their own placenta and what their experience has been.
Any help is gratefully received!
Sincerely,
T”
There is a great article about this in the current issue of Juno magazine. I wanted to give it a go but just couldn’t face it when it came to it!

We ate mine at my birthday party, purely so I could say ‘go on try some, I made it myself’. I didn’t have any problem with milk supply though so I can’t say if it helped – I have seen kits to turn it into capsules though I read that if you dry it out in a low oven it will turn to a powder that you can add to things. In my opinion it is worth a go, it is free!

I met someone recently who had done encapsulation and she said if she took a few extra caps she was ‘pouring milk’ it does sound really fascinating
