THE latest ditzy-sounding Hollywood craze has new mothers gobbling their baby’s placenta after giving birth and sources say the celebs who’ve done it include Kim Kardashian, Alicia Silverstone and Chrissy Teigen.
While star moms swear it helps prevent horrific postpartum depression and speed postnatal recovery, doctors say it’s not necessarily a good idea — and can be dangerous!
Actresses Nikki Reed, Mandy Moore, January Jones and Silverstone, and sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian had their placentas dried and ground up to swallow as capsules.
Meanwhile, Hilary Duff and Kim Zolciak had theirs blended in fruit smoothies, and Teigen, Tia Mowry and Mayim Bialik ate their placentas grilled!
Teigen downed her placenta after son Miles was born in 2018. The 38-year-old modelentrepreneur and mom of four with hubby John Legend says she did it to combat the depression that clobbered her after giving birth to her first child, Luna, two years earlier.
