What is Alicia Silverstone’s unique method of feeding her 11-month-old son Bear Blu?

Alicia is seen feeding son Bear with the chewed food from her mouth. Baby bird-style. Disturbing much?

Posting the above image on her website, The Kind of Life, Alicia notes the experience:

“I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum! I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup … from my mouth to his. It’s his favorite … and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!”

The video shows the actress taking a spoonful of food, chewing it, and then passing it open-mouth to her son.

I’m all for freedom of choice, but isn’t this a bit extreme?
