Eating your own placenta is marketed to come with benefits such as increased milk production, but there is no scientific evidence that supports these claims. The processing does not completely eliminate bacteria or viruses that may be in the placenta and may be harmful to the mother or baby. Healthcare providers do not recommend it, and it is particularly dangerous in the case of Group B Strep colonization or infection during pregnancy or postpartum. Mothers should consult with their doctors before making a decision.
