January Jones: I Eat My Placenta

Mar 24, 2012 by LISA ESTALL



January Jones has revealed she's been eating her placenta. The Mad Men star - who gave birth to Xander last September - says it's something she recommends.
She says, "I have a great doula who makes sure I'm eating well, with vitamins and teas, and with placenta capsulation. Your placenta gets dehydrated and made into vitamins. It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're the only mammals who don't ingest our own placentas."
The 34-year-old actress adds, "It's not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!"
January is also grateful that she gets to have her son close to her on the set everyday.
[INDENT]I think I went back to set six or seven weeks after, so he was really little. I had the baby and the baby nurse in their own room so I could go back and feed him every two hours. If I felt like he needed me, or if he needed to eat, or even if I just needed a squeeze because I was having separation issues, I would go back and see him. It was such a blessing that I wasn't separated from him."

A surprising number of women do this. I can't imagine sauteing up a placenta and eating it that way, but if I could have afforded the encapsulating I would have done the same. Supposed to be good for hormone balance, etc. in postpartum.

Um, gross.

AND use smart phones... it's called being advanced

And she's willing to tell us this gross stuff, but not who the baby daddy is?

I bet there's one site that would pay you cash for doing so

^This. I've heard before that it really help to replenish nutrients lost after birth and help with production of breast milk. I don't get what the big deal is.

[Bellatheball]

That's what prenatals are for. You can even (gasp!) take them after the baby is here.

She will never, ever live this down.

And one is manufactured and one is natural.

Yes, I'm sure the cavemen dried out their babymama's placentas, encapsulated them ("made them into vitamins") and fed it to them.

Here is a chef who cooks the placenta, dehydrates it and puts into capsules:

Well if the capsules are made out of gelatin, does that count?
