I got my capsule maker and capsules from one of my local health food stores, and I think Whole Foods may carry the supplies too.

When I went for my postpartum checkup my doctor was asking more details on how to do the capsules and where to get supplies!!!!!

Thanks Jean, I was wonting to know where you got your capsules maker? If that makes any since. I have sen them online when reading about this but have not seen where to buy it. Or do you just fill them by hand and cap the pills your self? Your been a lot of help=-))

I did it myself on day 3. It was pretty simple. I did mine in the oven, I normally would use a dehyderator or steamer for client's placentas. But I thought I'd try the oven method. I took several hours, checking it every 30 to 60 minutes. The encapsulating part only took 20 minutes. I yeilded around 105 capsules, but some did break in the process. People who I have talked to about it said it was really cool, and some have said they wanted me to do their placentas when they have children again. The people haven't seemed grossed out about it, but I can see why many would be. It's not that common here, so the more uncommon it is, the more strange/gross it can be.

Thanks Jean i been doing a lot of reading online and it say it can help with you milk and i just wonted to ask some women who have done it if it helped. To be honest i am alittle taken back about this, but i think its more a mind over matter deal. How was it for you? What did people say when they found out you did it?
Also did you make your own or did pay for someone to do it??
i was thinking i just wonted to make them myself, from what i am reading online its not hard.

Samantha, I did. I didn't lactate at all with my first. Not sure why, I tried to nurse and pump for 3 months but nothing came out. With my second son I encapsulated my placenta and I had a really good supply. Unfortunatly my son got a bad latch after the first few days so my supply did decrease. But I am still breastfeeding him at 3 months.
