I personally wouldnt. I've read around on it and see no full benefits from it. Once the cord is done pulsing, there is no longer any nutrients being passed to baby. I am going to do delayed cord clamping (hospital automatically does it anyways) and possibly debating having the cord milked. I don't want to risk the chance of my child getting an infection and having to smell dead organs.

I had this discussion with one woman, and she planned on keeping the placenta attached for what she hoped up to a week. I asked her how is that beneficial, and she just stated because that's natural and baby is getting nutrients the whole time and is spiritually beneficial. I brought up some of the articles I read, and she got angry, saying that it's all lies. To each her own, if it's what you want to do, go for it.

Has anyone had a lotus birth?
