Lotus Birth Bag - Handmade Crochet Cotton Placenta Bag

$45.00

Our Lotus Birth Bag is a handmade crochet bag designed to hold the placenta during a lotus birth.

Made from 100% cotton, this soft and practical placenta bag is designed to comfortably hold the placenta along with herbs or other materials used as part of your chosen lotus birth practice.

The bag features a drawstring closure, allowing you to securely close the opening around the placenta while keeping it contained.

What Is a Lotus Birth?

A lotus birth, also known as umbilical nonseverance, is the practice of leaving the baby attached to the placenta after birth rather than immediately cutting or clamping the umbilical cord.

The placenta remains attached until the umbilical cord naturally dries and separates from the baby's belly button. This commonly takes several days, although the timing can vary.

If you are planning a lotus birth, speak with your midwife, doctor or other qualified maternity care professional about appropriate handling, hygiene and care of the placenta and umbilical cord.

A lotus birth is a mostly spiritual practice that honours the birthing process and the sacred relationship that the baby has with the umbilical cord and placenta.

A lotus birth is about keeping the umbilical cord and placenta with the baby while he or she gently transitions to life outside the womb. It is a quiet and respectful transfer of attachment, without the trauma of being cut from the mother.
The name comes from the lotus flower, a flower important to Eastern cultures for its symbolism of unity, detachment, and rebirth.


Some possible benefits could include:
1. Allows more blood flow back into the baby. This improves blood circulation, body temperature, red blood cell count, the immune system, and brain development.

2. Faster healing of the umbilicus.

3. Helps to reduce birth trauma and reinforces the gentleness of natural birth.

4. Helps with postpartum healing. When a new mom has a newborn still connected to the placenta, it forces the mother to move slowly, carefully, and minimally.
