When feeding their babies, parents will chop, dice and mash foods to make them easier to eat. But most stop short of chewing the food and spitting it into their babies’ mouths.
Not Alicia Silverstone. The actress posted a video on her blog “The Kind Life” on Friday of herself baby bird-feeding her 11-month-old son Bear Blu.
“I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup…from my mouth to his. It’s his favorite…and mine,” she wrote. “He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!”
Although Silverstone’s mouth-to-mouth may be prompting a collective “eww” around the Internet, the practice, technically called premastication, is not uncommon for mothers and babies around the world. Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University, said it’s not necessarily as unsanitary as it might seem.
“For conventional germs this is not a big issue. When we kiss our babies, the bugs that we all have resident in our mouths are likely to be transmitted to the baby,” Schaffner said.
However, Schaffner said the practice becomes unsafe if the mother has an infection, such as hepa is B, which could be transmitted to her baby. In fact, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specifically warns mothers with hepa is B not to pre-chew food for their babies.
Keith Ayoob, an associate professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, said pre-chewing food is not something he would recommend for children who should be learning normal eating habits from their parents.

Damn lefty, you actually made me laugh.
damn lefty, you actually made me laugh.
She's getting pounded on Twitter about this. Disgusting.
I don't think it's gross or disgusting, some societies do it that way and that's fine. I just think it's ridiculous in our society, where convenience abounds. My babies never ate jarred baby food, because making it fresh is so easy; I also had a handy $10 food mill that fit in my purse, so when we were out I could feed my baby exactly what I ate and not directly out of my mouth.
But I agree with hemann, that name is the grossest part!
I see, so she's prolly into snowballin' too. I officially pass on dis .
Lol lefty
Being horrifyingly gross aside, with all of the possible illnesses transmitted through bodily fluids I don't see how that could ever be a good idea, convenient or not. To each (to chew up for) their own.
*shudders*
I never open-mouth kissed either one of my babies, either. I'd say that saturating what they ingest with infected saliva would be much more threatening than a big smootch on the cheek. I really don't agree that there is nothing unsanitary about that.“For conventional germs this is not a big issue. When we kiss our babies, the bugs that we all have resident in our mouths are likely to be transmitted to the baby,” Schaffner said.
And *attacking* her while she eats to get at her own food? This kid will be in therapy for sure.
Bear Blu? Really?
She'd better be carefull she doesn't bite off more than she can chew.
I find this story hard to swallow.
After I read this I was like.."shut your mouth!".
And to think that back in the day I wanted to suck face with her.
Well they do say you are what you eat.
Can you eat the food that is coming out of my mouth!
Alicia is a hot chick but damn.
