Symptoms last the first few weeks and include: Mood instability, Weepiness, Sadness, Anxiety Lack of concentration, Feelings of dependency ~Postpartum Support International~ 
Since the birth of my two children I was fascinated by placentas, their function and healing powers. At the time I didn't know about the possibility of encapsulating the placenta and ingesting it in a way as you would take a supplement. This provides the benefits of placenta ingestion, without the “ick” factor which many women find very challenging to overcome. I use the Traditional Chinese method in which the placenta gets first washed and steamed than thin sliced and dehydrated before it gets pulverized and encapsulated. The process of steaming the placenta is in TCM an integral part of formation and action of the medicine. Raw placenta is considered cooling and is generally not recommended. The placenta is prepared with respect, gratitude and healing intentions! Placenta capsules are best taken 3 times a day each 3 capsules for the first 2 weeks of postpartum and continued as needed .You can also save some of your capsules for emotional/hormonally stressful times or even for menopause. It's said that taken the capsules with a little bit of white wine is helping to dispense the energy of the placenta throughout your body. 
Homeopathic 6c Remedy is the perfect constitutional remedy for your baby. The theory is, that having a remedy at hand for your baby that is made from her placenta is like having a bit of a magic potion for the baby. A remedy to use at times of illness, shock, transition or change and when you intuitively feel to.
Research into the placental remedy, Placenta humanum, has indicated its benefit in the treatment of conditions where the child's immune system has failed to respond effectively to a challenge or illness. The remedy is prepared from the child's own placenta and provides an added individualized boost to overcome the child's own particular inherited tendencies.
