Default Re: Burning the umbilical cord

I have been in contact with a midwife who supports lotus births!
This is when they do not cut the cord at all!! they keep the baby connected to the placenta until it dies and drops off itself, it usually takes around a week and people put it in a cloth nappy type thing. I found it a bit odd, not because i was judging, id just never heard of it!!
what do you guys think??
