How to pack your cooler
If you have a silver cooler here are your instructions.
- Double-bag the placenta in the two bags labeled “Placenta”.
- Fill the bags marked “Ice” with ice. Make sure they are sealed properly.
- Place one bag in the cooler. Place bagged placenta on top. Place the last bag of ice on top of the bagged placenta.
- Make sure the ice stays fresh until I get the placenta. It’s good to check it every 5 hours.
- Keep the cooler upright.
- VERY IMPORTANT: If you are having a hospital birth make sure you have the handouts that come with your kit.
