This link has a lot of ideas for what you could do with your baby's placenta...  maybe you will find something useful.. I personally made the capsules (slightly different recipe)  and they most definatly helped me to bounce back more quickly post partum.  what i have left i take when i am feeling a little crazy and they do help my mood to even out a little.

We buried the girls' placentas under a butterfly bush. Unfortunately, we're renters and have had to transplant that darn plant several times. But always bring it with us, LOL! Someday we'll own and it can find a permanent home. :)

interesting..never heard of eating them.  Don't knock it till you've tried it, right?
