DO NOT FEED YOUR BABY WITH THE SPOON YOU USE!

You may have seen that, unfortunately, some mothers, in order to taste the food or food they feed their babies, first taste it themselves and then feed their babies with the same spoon.

According to baby health experts, it is stated that bacteria in the mother's mouth are transferred to the baby by tasting the formula with his spoon before feeding it and then feeding it to the baby with the same spoon. Emphasizing the importance of this issue, experts also warn that prospective parents should pay attention to their dental health and have regular dental check-ups while planning to have a baby.

When babies are born, the inside of their mouths are completely sterile. The baby's mouth is in a structure that will not allow any environment to produce caries or bacteria. However, it can be endangered by external stimuli. Bacteria can be transferred to the baby over time by kissing or making close contact with the mouth, using the same cutlery as the baby, tasting the food with his spoon while feeding the baby.

It is necessary to pay attention to the oral and dental health of babies and children. Regular check-ups will minimize possible caries and gum disease in the future. In fact, in order to prevent the transfer of bacteria to the baby, first of all, the parents and the close environment of the baby should give equal importance to the dental health.

Going back even further, it is essential for premarital couples to regulate their oral and dental health and even to solve the problem of gingivitis, if any.

Speaking of feeding food, we would like to make a note on a different issue; Since the food that comes into contact with the baby's mouth spoils in half an hour, the rest should not be fed. Non-contact food can stay intact for 4-6 hours.

Also, never try to feed your baby more than he wants, and then end the feeding as a meal by holding him upright and letting your baby burp.
