January Jones has revealed that she ate her own placenta after giving birth to her son, Xander, last year.
The Mad Men actress said that the placenta boosted her energy after the exhausting ordeal.
"I have a great doula who makes sure I'm eating well, with vitamins and teas and with placenta capsulation," the star said.
"Your placenta gets dehydrated and made into vitamins… It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're only the only mammals who don't ingest out own placentas.
"It's not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!"
Jones said that it was hard going back to work when her son was still small.
"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," she said.
The actress, who gave birth in September 2011, has not revealed the identity of Xander's father and is raising him as a single mum.
