I don't know about milk supply, but I've heard that eating placenta is good for preventing and treating post-partum depression.
Placenta isn't kosher, by the way (since we are talking about Israel). I asked once. However, laws of kashrut can be broken for medically necessary reasons, and it could well be argued that preventing low milk supply and PPD are medically necessary reasons.
Here is an article on how to do it yourself at home: http://www.cafemom.com/journals/read/1577334/Placenta_Encapsulation_Instructions_w_Pictures
There is a link down at the bottom for contacting people who will do it for you, but the only ones listed are US and Canada.
This is fascinating! I may have to get into this.
I have a completely unrelated question regarding asymmetrical latch. The latch is supposed to be asymmetrical only before the nipple/areola go into the baby's mouth, right? The nipple is centered in the baby's mouth afterwards because otherwise it will rub on the roof of the baby's mouth, right? Or am I totally off?

Breastfeed early, and breastfeed often.
It's just like voting.

I have seen some moms who have had their placentas encapsulated, are taking the
pills and ending up with huge supplies of milk. Anyone else observe this? If so,
planning for this to be done could be made during pregnancy if someone knows the
process in Israel. Not quite what Jessica had in mind,but I have been meaning to
ask about any observations from the group.

Subject: Low milk supply
I have a client who is pregnant again after having severe low milk supply
with her last child. After intense pumping, she only was able to express
about 20cc each time.
She has called to find out what she can do in pregnancy.
I remember Lisa Marasco lecturing and mentioning Progesterone in pregnancy
can help with milk supply. Is this only with moms diagnosed with PCOS or
anyone? Is there anything else during the pregnancy this mom can do,
besides all the regular immediately after birth- s2s, etc.?
Please email privately as well as to the list.
Thank You,
Jessica Billowitz, IBCLC
