Why Calvin Harris' Baby News Has Social Media Buzzing

IBIZA, AUG 05 – Calvin Harris shared photos of his son's birth and placenta encapsulation despite controversy, highlighting a growing trend despite no scientific proof of health benefits, experts warn of risks.

  • Sharing graphic images of his wife Vick Hope's placenta and umbilical cord in a heart shape on Instagram, Calvin Harris prompted an age restriction on the post.
  • Some proponents believe that eating the placenta can help prevent postnatal depression, improve milk supply, or provide iron, though there is no scientific evidence supporting these benefits, Harris said.
  • Controversy erupted when Hope's Instagram carousel included a photo of her placenta, with some fans praising and others criticizing it as bordering on cannibalism, according to one top gynaecologist.
  • Currently, the post remains up with comments disabled, and neither Harris nor Hope has publicly responded to the backlash.
  • In the wider postpartum discussion, there's comparatively little information about postpartum care, while some women explore placenta encapsulation, which involves dehydrating the placenta into capsules.
