Mad Men's Jones eats placenta in capsule form
January Jones is eating her own placenta.
The 'Mad Men' actress gave birth to son Xander last September and says she has been consuming her placenta in capsule form ever since.
When asked how she copes with being a working mother, January told People magazine: "I have a great doula (a non-medical person who assists a woman before, during or after childbirth) who makes sure I'm eating well, with vitamins and teas, and with placenta capsulation.
"Your placenta gets dehydrated and made into vitamins. It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're the only mammals who don't ingest our own placentas. It's not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!"
January - who refuses to name Xander's father - went back to work soon after her son's birth but was grateful he was able to come to the 'Mad men' set with her.
She said: "I think I went back to set six or seven weeks after, so he was really little. I had the baby and the baby nurse in their own room so I could go back and feed him every two hours.
"If I felt like he needed me, or if he needed to eat, or even if I just needed a squeeze because I was having separation issues, I would go back and see him. It was such a blessing that I wasn't separated from him."
