My husband had a yogurt last night and of course, nobody in our house can eat anything without our son wanting some too... so before he started it our son was right over ready for some. He fed him some yogurt first then started eating the rest himself but was tempted to share even though he’d had the spoon in his mouth too.

My question is, do you share cutlery with your baby in this way? We are just afraid that our mouths have bacteria the baby hasn’t been introduced to yet. In my eyes it’s like kissing your baby on the lips and we haven’t done that in light of all the bad information that baby can catch bad infections particularly when newborn.

My husband and I share the same cup of juice etc, so when in life does the baby get to share too?
