"A crafty alternative for those who don’t necessarily want to eat their baby’s placenta, but want to pay their respects to the life sustaining organ by turning it into a one-of-a-kind teddy bear. Green’s ‘Twin Teddy Kit’ ‘celebrates the unity of the infant, the mother and the placenta,’ and enables preparation of the placenta so it may be transformed into a teddy bear. The placenta must be cut in half and rubbed with sea salt to cure it. After it is dried out, it is treated with an emulsifying mixture of tannin and egg yolk to make it soft and pliable. Then, you craft it into a teddy bear."

what is the purpose of eating the placenta? other than grossing everyone else around you the fuck out?

10/7/2009 12:51:01 AM

Supposed to help you regain the nutrients lost with child birth or something.

Taking the placenta home to bury it under a tree or something along those lines is one thing. I can actually see that as being a very spiritual and moving thing.

Taking the placenta home to turn it into a teddy bear is just ugh.
