What is lotus birth?

Just curious, I saw a reference to it on a "crunchy" parenting site but had never heard the term before.

What is lotus birth?
Its a process where the umbilical cord isnt cut from the baby, and they let it dry and bascially fall off natural vs being clamped and cut.

Reply:They don't cut the cord, they wait till it drops off with the placenta still attached a week later.
