No More Blowing Kids' Food That Is Still Hot When Sucking Up

Hi steemians .
Quite a lot of parents are accustomed to blowing the food of his son who is still in hot condition while feeding him. The purpose of blowing this food of course for food to be cooler so it is safer for children to consume. Unfortunately, this habit can actually adversely affect the health of children, especially for the teeth and mouth.

Although it seems unrelated, in reality blowing food that still hot children make food finally exposed to bacteria streptococcus. The problem is, children, especially babies, tend to still not immune to the existence of this bacterium. If the child's mouth is contaminated with this bacteria, then the health of his teeth can be disrupted even when the child has not experienced tooth growth.

As the child's teeth begin to grow, the presence of bacteria in the mouth will make it possible to form plaque on the teeth. In addition, when children consume mothers or other foods that meet with plaque on these teeth, then formed acid that can threaten the health of children.

In a study conducted in Australia, it was mentioned that most small children or infants get these streptococcus bacteria from their mothers. Transmission of bacteria is caused by the mother's habits that blow food when feeding the baby, eat with a small spoon, or even when the mother kissed the baby on his lips.

Seeing this fact, it's good mother did not blow hot food and choose to wait for food cooler before being fed to her child. Not only that, do not eat with a tablespoon that is being used to feed the child. Frequently cleanse the baby's mouth, including the tongue, teeth, and cheeks after feeding it with a clean wet cloth to reduce exposure to bacteria in the baby's mouth.
