Yellow & White Lotus Birth Bag

$45.00

This lotus birth bag is perfect for holding the placenta after birth.

Lotus birth, also known as umbilical nonseverance, is the practice of leaving the baby attached to the placenta until the cord naturally dries and disconnects from the belly button. This process generally takes 3-10 days, but can vary. 

This lotus birth bag is the perfect size to hold the placenta plus herbs (all wrapped up of course). It has a drawstring to pull the bag together at the top.

This crochet lotus birth bag has been made with 100% cotton.

Lotus birth bags are made to order. Please allow up to 5 days for it to be made.

Can be made with any colour. Email nicole@alephia.org for any questions.

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.
