"Alicia Silverstone has posted a new video on her website The Kind Life, in which she feeds her son her chewed food.  Silverstone, who gave birth to son Bear Blu Jarecki in May 2011, describes the website&amp;#039;s message as &amp;quot;living your healthiest and happiest life to the fullest, while taking care of mama Earth at the same time&amp;quot;. The video is titled &amp;#039;Bear eating my mouth&amp;#039;, and features Silverstone eating from a bowl of food, and then feeding the chewed food from her mouth into her son&amp;#039;s.      In the blog post, Silverstone said: &amp;quot;I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup....Yum! I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup...from my mouth to his. It&amp;#039;s his favorite ... and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I&amp;#039;m eating.&amp;quot; The Clueless actress, who has confessed to not leaving her home for weeks after the birth of the son, highlights the practice as a great way to bond with a child.  However, expert Dr Jennifer Landa has told Fox News: &amp;quot;There are those who think that a mom chewing a baby&amp;#039;s food provides helpful enzymes from her mouth but it doesn&amp;#039;t seem like a hygienic practice. &amp;quot;Various viruses and bacteria, but especially herpes virus, may be passed from mother to baby. These microbes present a challenge that the infant&amp;#039;s immune system may not be ready for. There&amp;#039;s a certain ick factor here that needs to be considered.&amp;quot; Silverstone, who will next be playing opposite Christopher Walken in Gods Behaving Badly, has yet to comment on any criticism.
