I don't like it when my mil n sil share utensils with my 1 year old . They would often use the spoon or fork that they have used to eat their meal to feed my LO with a few spoonfuls of rice or meat. I find it so unhygienic! Even I don't use the spoon that I have used to feed my young child . I told my mil n sil once but I think my mil got offended n say ," why ? My saliva is poison is it ?" Faint !

I think the news of granny cooling the food with mouth is a bit extreme. Pls bear in mind that your grand parents has more life experience than you. While I agree is a bit unhygienic, I don't think is worth to kick up a fuss about it. As they did it in good intentions. Maybe can just get another spoon for them to feed baby.. But then you might complain their food might have their saliva too.. Lol By the way, the sharing of food during communue dinner helps built a up immunity among family members. It has been a practice since ancient time, where family sit at a table and pass the food around to share.
