Do you masticate the food before giving to your LO?

[Anonymous]

I'm following the allergy thread and I didn't know this was laughable.

Am I the only one around who helps my LO to get table food in a more baby friendly way?

Not to mention I also pass along probiotics, antibodies, enzymes... I though we all did this...

No. That's gross. I'm not feeding a baby bird.

Eww! And I also don't eat my LO left overs... kind of gross too (my husband does!)

[Anonymous]

Eww.

Seriously!?

Giving enzymes and stealing flavor! Sometimes my lil man will just suck the sauce/spices off of something and spit the rest back out.

Really, though, no i don't do that, but if it floats your boat, baby's happy and doc says no worries, then whatever.

hmm so I guess your LO doesn't drink cow's milk either... right?

Sorry, OP, I was the first responder on the allergy article thread, and didn't mean to hurt any feelings. To me, the idea of taking chewed food out of my mouth AT ALL is way up there on my gross-out list. Putting that chewed food into someone else's mouth may well top the list.

I have bitten off a piece of fruit or something, when I didn't have a knife handy, and given the smaller piece to my baby. But actually chewing it? No. Ack. No.

I'm the OP and seems like I was not clear... we're talking about human table food like pasta, bread, meat, vegetables, etc. I don't feed my child raw worms.

I hope I was a bit more clear now.

This has to be a joke.

OP again and if you're interested I can give you tips... you don't suck on the food. You just chew and moist it. It's quick and easy. Much easier than using a blender and washing all the parts of a food processor.

Why do you think we're joking?

This reminds me of the "Bird Family" sketch on SNL when Julianna Margulies hosted about ten years ago. SO friggin' funny. Can't find it to link but it's on Netflix and Hulu Plus.
