This girl that i know has come over from hong kong and had a baby in uk, shes currently living at her mum's till her hubby flys over and collects her and recently i went round to visit the new born baby boy. i found that the baby's mother couldnt be bothered with looking after her son much and instead the baby's grandmother does everything, bath, change, feed...even strap the baby onto her own back while working the wok's in the take away while she sits around watching tv....
but wats more worrying is that besides giving the baby milk to drink the grandmother keeps chewing up bits of food in her own mouth and spitting it onto a spoon to feed the baby boy....i was really really shocked cos it was disgusting to see. i felt rather sick when she chewed up some chicken then spooned it into the babys mouth, she did the same with sweets and treats too....the grandmother said that this is normal and thats how she weened her 3 daughters onto solids...
i can seriously say my mother did not regurgitate food from her mouth to feed to me when i was a baby...so am i the only one that doesnt get fed like birds or something?...and if so i am not going to start sicking food up to feed my future kids no matter what!
