Watch Alicia Silverstone Chew Her Baby's Food

Proud mother Alicia Silverstone has long gushed about passing her love of life and vegan cuisine onto her ten-month-old son Bear Blu. Over the weekend, she took to her blog to relate a cute little story about the little man eating mochi and veggies, but it’s not so much the food in question as the method it was delivered that’s gotten people talking.

Apparently, Silverstone feeds her son by chewing up his food and then transferring it with a kiss. Yes, like a standard bird might do. Luckily for everyone who likes the utterly bizarre, the actress posted a video of the mochi incident, and we’ve embedded it below. Go ahead and have a look…

I’ll be the first to admit that it seems like Bear is having a hell of a time in that video, as is his mother. Silverstone claims the little guy “crawls across the room to attack (her) mouth whenever (she’s) eating”. Whether or not that’s a good thing I’ll leave for you to decide.

Some children have an extraordinarily hard time eating without choking. As such, some kids do have their food pre-chewed or pulverized into mush, but the majority of those cases still involve spoons or some other conduit that’s not a mouth. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Provided he’s weaned off this strangeness by the time he’s in Kindergarten, I guess no harm no foul.
