It seems ‘Clueless’ Star, Alicia Silverstone, may be just that – clueless, or perhaps confused her son, Bear Blu for an actual animal. Watch the television and film actress use a particularly controversial method of feeding her young son and let us know what you think!
The actress and animal rights activist posted a video herself over the weekend feeding her son breakfast.
“I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup … from my mouth to his. It’s his favourite … and mine,” Silverstone wrote. “He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or two ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!”
Much like the feeding habits of a bird, the video shows the actress taking a spoonful of food, chewing it, and then passing it open-mouthed to her little one.
Some medical experts this may be a hindrance instead of a help. “There are those who think that a mum chewing a baby’s food provides helpful enzymes from her mouth but it doesn’t seem like a hygienic practice. Various viruses and bacteria, but especially herpes virus, may be passed from mother to baby,” Dr. Jennifer Landa, chief medical officer of BodyLogicMD told FOXNews.com.
“These microbes present a challenge that the infant’s immune system may not be ready for. So the practice is questionable for safety, and then, there’s a certain ick factor here that needs to be considered,” Landa added.
