The husband of rugby league star Benji Marshall took to Instagram to say she was drinking her "fresh placenta" in a smoothie blend with banana and berries.
Mrs Marshall gave birth to Fox, the couple's first child, in March.
"Gotta have that fresh placenta," she said. "I also got Georgie to make me placenta capsules, a tincture and an essence to take postnatal."
Comments to the post were mixed with one user saying: "hmm I'll pass!"
Another said they loved the idea and wished it was something they could have done.
