[ozmidwifery] Lotus placenta

[Mary Murphy]

Does anyone have any information about infection in newborns caused by a Lotus Placenta?  A recent client of another midwife has been reported to the Dept of Community Services child protection unit because she is practicing lotus placenta with her newborn.  What a load of stress to put on a woman because the paediatritions don't know anything about it.  These are the same paeds who didn't know that it was possible for babies to be born in the caul.  Any information gratefully received. ASAP.  MM
