So after a talk last night with hubby about potentially eating the placenta. After thinking about it more and reading what I have read, I am totally SOLD on it. We had PPD PP anxiety and PP obsessive compulsive crap. Also, we hare HBing and want to avoid pit after if we do have bleeding. This is our second, and we don't plan on having "help" of family till BFing is really set under way, and I'm gonna energy taking care of baby, and our then 2YO. Mostly because family (usually) makes me feel I have to "entertain" and not rest with baby.
So encapsulating sounds like a hassle and I don't want to pay someone to do it, and I don't really want to cook it, as I feel it will loose some of benefits. So we are thinking smoothie. It sounds great, and it's a great way for me to get nutritious food in me in the days PP. Everything I have read about how to eat it long term (2 weeks-a month), is women who freeze it in dixie cups and drink one a day. I would think freezer burn would happen.
What if.....I make it like I made my son's baby food, like make the smoothies in a big batch, and then put it in ice cube trays, and then take the cubes out into freezer bags to they don't freezer burn, and then puree a few cubes at a time? Does sound like it would work?
