Alicia Silverstone chews her son's food for him


Many parents post videos of themselves feeding their young children. But actress Alicia Silverstone went one step further. A video, posted to YouTube on March 20, shows her feeding her now 11-month-old son, Bear Blu, by chewing food and passing it directly into his mouth from hers.

The "Clueless" star also posted the video on her site, "The Kind Life," which is an offshoot of her bestselling vegan cookbook, "The Kind Diet."

"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," Silverstone wrote. "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. 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!"

Not everyone reacted positively to Silverstone's method of feeding her son.

"She's an adorable mother, with a cute kid? but this video is still weird as hell," said one comment on YouTube.

But on Silverstone's site, reader Kate Kelly posted, "Alicia, I had never thought of this before but it's the cutest way of feeding your baby! I have a 7 month old and I think I will try this method ... she is always trying to lick my mouth anyways might as well give her a reward!"

Fox News asked medical and nutritional experts what they thought of the feeding method. "It doesn't seem like a hygienic practice," one doctor told the site.

Is she a goddamned bird? Why not digest it a little before feeding time?

No I believe that counts as pre-masticated. Since she pre-masticates it before feeding it to her son, who also masticates it.

Tessa does this sometimes. No biggie. Usually not from mouth to mouth but she chews it up into smaller pieces sometimes.

It's not like this is a really uncommon practice for infants.

I'd lick the insides of Alicia Silverstone's mouth without a second thought, even if she was eating fish sticks at the time.

I think if the kid is at any health risk here it's from protein deficiency rather than mouth germs from his mom.

I personally find the mouth-to-mouth part kind of gross though. I can see chewing it into smaller pieces if necessary, but why not just put it in your hand and put it in the kid's mouth? Also don't think I could handle a slobbery kid trying to lick my lips to get food. sick

Can't possibly be less hygenic than swapping spit and other bodily fluids with someone.

That being said, I don't see myself ever doing this. Babies are slobbery enough as it is tongue

no, it falls along the same lines of not feeding an infant raw honey for fear of botulism concerns... the adult human mouth has gunk in it that could do detriment to a very early developing system

I am sure the baby that is licking the ground... playing with dog poop... has much more to worry about than germs from their mom.


My mom used to tell me that she did this to my food... minus the mouth to mouth transfer... that is a little weird.

As long as she doesn't swallow it then regurgitate it up to feed to the baby.

Pre-mastication, or what happens before mastication, is putting the whole food in your mouth. Chewing it is then the mastication, and feeding the masticated food straight into your kid's mouth (no real need for pre or post or anything) is just kind of gross.

People are in love with using "pre" in front of so many things that it's stupid. Like "pre-drilling a hole"... it's not pre-drilling, it's drilling a pilot hole. Pre-drilling is getting the bit ready and aiming it.

You guys are silly. She is just doing it to be funny/cute.

I have seen people do this with their dog(minus the chewing), and no one cares.

no probably because infants don't have molars and it is a lot more efficient to chew than to cut with fork and knife.

the whole mouth to mouth thing is quirky in these times, but certainly not unheard of.

So much stupidity in this thread.


Parents "chewing food and passing it to their kids" are the only way we humans have managed to evolve and survive over the last however many thousand years.

This is a common practice in many parts of the world today and was common in all parts of the world until bottled milk was invented.


Here is another thing some of you may find strange:
People actually used to poop in a little house outside their living quarters. Imagine that! People didn't have toilets and bathrooms. Some people STILL DON'T! Even in America!

Would be interesting to see a study looking at whether premastication leads to infants having more dental cavities...

Anyone, in the process of seeing if anyone had done the study I found fuel for the Sith sandwich fire. Maybe he ate the sandwich out of his coworkers mouth? We really didn't consider that. Maybe he should have been worried.

I've been around a lot of kids...and I've never heard of anyone doing this.

I might have to ask someone just to make sure I wasn't left out of the loop or something. Or maybe it's a west-coast thing, you western people are weird after all.

and lol @ "I

steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped

Trust me, its common. Ask your grand mother, she probably did it (Depending on her age).

No, my parents didn't do it and I don't really know anybody who does it now for obvious reasons, but it was common back in the day and still is common in a lot of other parts of the world, particularly poor countries.

I don't have any living grandparents. I don't doubt that people did it 50 years ago...it just seems silly to be doing it now. Why would you add any extra risk to your child by sharing your saliva with your 7 month old kid? It sounds like pure stupidity to me. seems like a great way to get your kid sick any time you're sick (and the symptoms aren't showing quite yet, as hopefully you would at least stop doing it by then).

Any mom with any common illness will expose the baby to it long before she has a chance to feed it. lol

Maybe one of those things people feel the need to do.

Maybe not one of those things people need to talk about doing.

There are several cultures around the world that do this... for their entire village. Still.. blech
