Busting bad dish!

Alicia Silverstone Chews Food, Feeds Son Mouth-to-Mouth Like Bird (VIDEO)

VIDEO

(YouTube)

Alicia Silverstone has an, um, unusual way of feeding her baby son Bear Blu, whom she and husband Christopher Jarecki welcomed in May 2011.

She uses the “bird” approach.

That’s right: Silverstone chews food and spits it into her son’s mouth.

She shared the tactic in a video posted to The Kind Life, her lifestyle site.

In the post, Silverstone says the footage is from “a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly,” explaining that Bear now “literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating.”

Well then.

Take a look – if you can stomach it – at the video below, and let us know what you think of the Silverstone feeding strategy.

    ew this is so sick. has she heard of mashed up baby food? Does she think that is will provide some sort of bonding because that’s what breastfeeding is for.

  • Kateesandwich

    To each her own you want to do what’s best for your child but I do NOT agree with this technique!!! It teaches begging do you want ur child to grow up taking food from your mouth or worse have it become such a habit/obsession that they need it for comfort from their future mate? Also the human mouth carries tons of germs no matter how healthy and clean you are! Dislike!

  • Kelly

    Stupid woman, what kind of a mother is that? Any doctor would scold her for it.

    my best friend’s ex-wife made $19574 last month. she is getting paid on the computer and got a $395200 house. All she did was get blessed and use the instructions made clear on this link >>>> LazyCash1.com

  • Ahahha

    what the hell is she doing!

  • Brihackums

    I think that it is perfectly fine. My mother did the same to me as a child and I grew up fine. No begging or taking food out of my mouth. To each is their own.

  • Leslie

    I just wonder what happens with germs, when one of them gets sick, sharing the bacteria back and forth can’t be good.

  • liz

    I didn’t even watch the video but……gross. I mean where are these people from? How is that even remotely healthy/hygenic?

  • Guest

    Disgusting! WTF?

  • Diane

    has no one told her that birds to it because they have no hands to feed the chicks with. smh

  • Cheryl

    And we all thought the SNL sketches featuring this tactic was odd. lol.

    This is just so disgusting.

  • Guest

    i taught it was going to be disgusting but after watching the video i taught is was cute, beautiful mommy and son moment. people are making a bigger deal out of this than it is. but i never go with the popular opinion anyways, i could think for myself and not what the media are saying

    I’m not a fan of Alicia Silverstone but I will say that this method of feeding a child is neither disgusting nor weird, it is how babies were fed before there was baby food in a jar. How do you think small babes were fed before the 20th century (or whenever baby food was invented)? Just chopping it up would not make it fine enough. They were breast fed and then fed from their mother’s mouth to their own mouth. I am sure Ms. Silverstone is not the only mother who is using this method; she is just the only one who is a fame wh0re and needs the controversy it will generate to get her name out there.

  • Liz

    I’m vegan too but I wouldn’t feed my child like that!

  • Odd

    This is hands down one of the strangest things I have ever seen. This is disgusting, how can it even be hygienic to feed your child like that. I don’t understand some of these celebrities.

  • D. Martin

    Okay. Where is the data backing up your claim? I have never read – I’ve never searched for it though – of mothers feeding their babies this way. My mother is almost 80 and she said that food was mashed up. She said milk was the staple until they started teething and then food was mashed up.

  • D. Martin

    I have not watched the video either. I would get sick. She claims he “literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating.” What is she teaching him? And if he’s attacking her mouth if she’s eating then what makes her think he won’t do it to guests or other kids?

  • Gooba41

    Gross,,,, imagine the bacteria,,,,,poor child,,,stupid mother

  • Anonymous

    I don’t have any “data” to back anything up. I only know from growing up watching women breastfeed their babies until they were two or three years old, along with chewing and feeding those babies. Mashing food did not make it fine enough for small babies to eat; chewing and feeding did. There are many countries where this method is used. Too bad people would rather rage about something natural being “disgusting” rather than finding out that it is a normal thing to do.

    Reminds me of a skit some years ago on SNL where a family fed like this to all its members. I think Fred Armison was a part of it.

    Wow, must be something wrong with her child. My daughter was born in April 2011 and she can eat chopped (not mashed) up bits of food. She eats whole broccoli sprouts, whole bread, etc. Babies NEED to learn the pincer grasp, picking things up with their pointer finger and thumb. Food is the best thing for them to use their pincer grasp. Not only is “bird” feeding absolutely gross, but it’s not helping the baby to learn.

  • Jules

    As long as he is healthy who are we to judge. Not The way I would feed my son, but to each their own I guess. She always has been a little out there, I mean she named her kid Bear.

  • SMVB

    Creepy or not, I think she is setting the stage for a scary situation. Digestion begins with saliva and chewing. She’s doing too much of the work for him to learn how to eat properly.

    That is the most disgusting thing I have EVER seen!

  • Sallygogoa

    She can I’ve him her germs. Unsanitary and weirdly controlling.

  • Sallygooa

    But we are in the 21st century and we have blenders to puree the food. NO EXCUSES!

    Can you imagine being in a restaurant and your friend’s 8 year old leans over and says…

    “Mommy can you chew it up and puke it into my mouth please?”

  • Paulo

    When this boy will learn to eat normally? You can say that lots of people do that and we’re only talking because it’s Alicia Silverstone. Yeah, I’m talking about this because she is the first one that I heard that do this and it’s crazy…
