That's beyond disgusting.<br /> I'm all for being vegan and loving the earth and all that but seriously? ewwww </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103818 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:09:54 +0000 808love 103818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. . I don't even want to watch the video. I do the same as @chopsuey, not the whole birdie thing. </p> <p>The first time I ever pre-chewed was at a Thanksgiving feast and got a shocked look but it came so natural to cut up a green bean for my baby. I think I might stop because maybe I really am giving her some strong germs. My babe has been getting sick a lot. We also let her chew on our toothbrush. That's not good. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103801 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:58:58 +0000 chopsuey 103801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just watched the video.. YIKES! She's a mama bird!!<br /> :D I used to chew meat a couple of times and finger feed it to my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103771 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:28:50 +0000 Mrsbells 103771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no thats weird. its one thing to bite something for a baby such as a piece of apple if you dont have a knife handy but to actually chew it first is just odd </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103716 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:36:30 +0000 Sweet T 103716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this last night and thought it was disgusting. The prechewing didn't really bother me but the bird feeding was so weird. If she wants to prechew his food, she could hand it to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103715 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:33:50 +0000 SugarplumsMom 103715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so bizarre!

I definitely won't be doing this! But I'll try not to judge others (though please don't do it in front of me, I'm squeamish)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103696 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:22:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 103696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah..it grossed me out as well. I didn't even click the article when I was on people.com because I just didn't want the visual! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103695 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:22:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 103695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is SO bad for kids' dental health because it colonizes their mouths with all your adult bacteria. Hello cavities and dental problems. Same deal when moms put the binky in their mouths to "clean" it off. I guess if you've never had a cavity, it might not be the worst thing, but if you have bad teeth, you are perpetuating that straight to your child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103693 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:20:32 +0000 anewme 103693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who does this and it seriously grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103692 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:20:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 103692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This grosses me out.

Don't they need to learn to chew? Isn't that the point of giving small bits of table food? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103659 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:02:00 +0000 SAHM0811 103659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never... weird too that she did it mouth to mouth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103620 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:34:37 +0000 chopsuey 103620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents pre chewed my food when I was a baby.. :P<br /> Not gonna lie, I've done it for my LO too. HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103618 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:32:59 +0000 MrsBrewer 103618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is weird. If it is too chewy, maybe the LO isn't ready to eat that yet? Or just cut it up into a small enough piece that it would be manageable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103613 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:27:30 +0000 calsmom 103613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so strange.

Who does that? Obviously Ms Silverstone is still Clueless. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103608 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:22:11 +0000 Andrea 103608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: pretty sure i ate a grape last night that the LO had spit out but it was not chewed up. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103606 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:20:09 +0000 volksgirl64 103606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't prechew everything we gave DD, but if we were eating dinner and she seemed interested, I would give her some that I'd prechewed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103605 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:15:49 +0000 mrsjyw 103605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw that yesterday and was grossed out; and I usually have a low threshold for 'grossness' as far as parenting/kids. I would go as far as eating half of what future LO doesn't finish or visa versa, but not to Alicia's extremes of bird-feeding.</p> <p>Edit: it's not the pre-chewing that grosses me out, it's the way she fed her LO afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-too-crunchy-for-me-pre-chewing-your-los-food#post-103603 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:13:47 +0000 Andrea 103603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/alicia-silverstone-pre-chews-food-for-son-bear-10-months-2012283?utm_source=dailynewsletter&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=newsletter" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/alicia-silverstone-pre-chews-food-for-son-bear-10-months-2012283?utm_source=dailynewsletter&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=newsletter</a></p> <p>Apparently, Alicia Silverstone feeds her son like birds do - chews it in her mouth and then gives it to him. Would you do this? </p>
