Hi,
Thanks for your question - it's an interesting one!
There certainly isn't any 'proper' evidence (that would stand up to scientific scrutiny) that supports the claim that eating the placenta increases breast milk or has any of the other claimed benefits. However there does seem to be a reasonable amount of anecdotal evidence and the lack of 'proper' evidence, it could be argued, may be down to a lack of study/research on the topic.
All other mammals including chimpanzees, our closest relative, do eat the placenta. There must be a good reason that this instinct is 'programed' within them - so they must get benefit from eating it. In my personal opinion if other mammals including chimps are gaining benefit from this practice then it's very likely humans would also.
