Eating the afterbirth is natural. It can help to stimulate milk production, and it's nutritious. However it can cause the mother to develop diarrhea, so if you wanted to dispose of the afterbirth, that's okay too.

After giving birth, the mother dog's food requirements increase as she produces more milk for her growing puppies. Be sure to give your dog free access to as much as a good quality puppy food that she wants (it has more of the nutrients she needs), as well as access to clean water.

How long does the seepage last after dog gives birth?

It's heavier for a day or two, then it should slowly taper off for about the next two weeks. If it is heavy for more than a few days or does not look right, I would take her to a vet to make sure all the afterbirth has been expelled & no dead puppies left in her uterus.
