Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry reportedly takes six placenta pills a day to get her energy up after giving birth to baby boy Lincoln Nov. 16.

A close friend to Lowry told Radar Online in an article posted Friday, "She [started] taking them today. She has to take six a day until they are gone."

Her daily dose of placenta isn't much of a surprise. While she was still pregnant, she revealed that she planned on eating her own placenta. On Oct. 17 she tweeted "Just paid to have my placenta encapsulated! I figured it can't hurt to try!"

She also isn't allowed to workout again until she gets the OK from her doctors.

The friend also revealed that Lowry is feeling the effects of being a mom to a newborn and is "exhausted."

"Lincoln has his days and nights mixed up. And nursing on demand has been tough for her in the beginning."

While Lowry isn't a single mom, the insider said she isn't getting much help from her husband, Javi Marroquin, who can't assist her with any of the much needed nursing. Still, they're on a new baby high and Lincoln's older brother, Isaac, from Lowry's previous relationship with Jo Rivera, might be considered the typical big brother.

"Kailyn and Javi are loving every minute of having him home...Isaac is good with Lincoln. [He] doesn't really pay any mind to him right now."

Lowry gave birth to baby Lincoln Nov. 16. He is Lowry and Marroquin's first child together.

After giving birth, the proud mom told Us Weekly, "I am exhausted, but we are so excited and surprised by our new baby boy."
