Well they don’t eat it to get it off of the baby. While I’m not a vet or a zoologist, my understanding is they eat it for the nutrients as well as to help remove the scent, and newborn animals are easy prey and targeted by predators.

Some cultures still eat the placenta.
Other cultures will save baby teeth, grind them into powder, and bake them into bread that will be eaten by the whole family.
Waste not want not I fuckin guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Holy Christ in the bloody sky. I hate odontophagia. I fear it.
They don’t eat it ONLY to get it off the baby
