How interesting.

Vernix caseosa is the white greasy/fatty/waxy substance on newborns.
Parents don't usually get to see this following a hospital birth unless the
nurse misses wiping off a crease.  My last child was born at home seventeen
years ago w/ the attendance of a midwife and veteriarian. :-)  Baby John was
one slippery dude.

My natural chidbirth book included a recipe for placenta stew.  I wonder if
Paleo humans ate the afterbirth as is typical of other animals?  I don't see
why not.
