WTF - Silverstone feeds son like a bird

[freedogger]

I'll tell you this though, if I ever see this in a restaurant, I'm leaving and the momma birdy can pay my bill.

I hate crap like this.

Countless billions of people have had kids and been parents but Alicia Silverstone and her kid are so special they have to resort to this.

I dont think it has any merit whatsoever, shes doing this because her kid is 'special.'

I can't decide if I agree with this more than I agree with what Hack said!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

OMG that's effing sick dude.

I'd like to point out no normal Asians actually do this.

This is effing sick. hehehe Did she use spit on a kleenex to wipe your mouth and nose too?

It would be some kinda hot if Silverstone did this back in 1995 when she was hot.

I'm not saying that it's a cultural specific thing. It's up to parents how they want to parent and feed her young child and I don't see anything inherently wrong with this other than the fact that perhaps our over-hygeniene obsessed Westernized society seems to see this as a "sick" practice according to sample size of this message board thread.

There are certainly parental practices that are morally wrong and you are all saying this is deranged or sick in some way.

My mom has told me than when I was a kid before teething, she would help chew food for me and pass it to me. I don't even remember anything about it. Exactly what is wrong or sick about this? If the kid was old enough to chew his own food and the mom was still doing this, that might be cause for concern.

I wouldn't do this for my own kid but there absolutely nothing inherently wrong with it for people to be like "OMG, that's so wrong". Parents screw up kids in many ways. This isn't one of them.

From an oral hygiene standpoint: it's frowned upon (along with sucking the dirt off a soother that's been dropped on the floor to clean it off) because you're passing along streptococcus mutans bacteria into his mouth (babies are born free of this bacteria and can usually only get it from direct contact from saliva) Once they get this in their mouth, they are more prone do develop dental caries (cavities) when they grow older.

Just saying what was taught to me in dental assisting school 15 years ago and what they teach moms in prenatal classes.

Edit;(Plus it's just weird. Bite off a piece of apple and give it to your kid? Yes. This? No.)

If it's not weird, go to your mom's house tonight and get her to do it one last time. Youtube it. Post it. $100 to CP.

I'll match that.

[Hack&Lube]

Of course it's weird as a adult. For a toddler, no.

[burn_this_city]

I think its strange, but not as strange as women who breastfeed their kids until school age.

[Flames89]

She is a raging hippy, but is not dumb.
Her cookbook and diet have been huge sellers, and some of the dishes are not half-bad, for vegan-y food (yes, I date a part time veggie/vegan...)

Not saying it isn't weird though ... if I saw the mother of my child doing that, I would definitely say something ...

I haven't / won't look at this video lest it ruin all the win from 90's Aerosmith vids.

[Zevo]

Just think of it like a ***-swapping video...but, you know, without the child.

[Ben_in_Canada]

I can understand why birds and other animals do this, they don't have hands or the means to carry food etc outside of their mouth.
If the kid can't chew solids effieciently feed him soft foods like I don't know, baby food for example.

[CaptainCrunch]

Put food in

hawk up a big atomic loogie

Blend for 1 minute

Serve

Whats going to eff the kid up is not how she feeds it but what she feeds it

"I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum!

The most disturbing part of this story is this.....

There is nothing wrong with that breakfast! Course i would eat it mouth fed to me by some hot blonde chick who isn't my mom.
