Never share utensils with your baby!!!

I know expert always tells us.. do not share spoon or fork... do not sip from the same straw...with your baby, in short, our saliva can't never pass to our kid.. what's the big deal?  Most people will not take it seriously as it is your baby and you know your body better that you don't have any disease that will pass along to you kid anyway. right?

Well, I kinda follow what the experts said, there are maybe only a couple times that I have to use my fork and knife to cut Skyler meat while dining out, just so my bacteria will not pass to Skyler... ok, sometimes I myself wondered too, what bacteria? what's the big deal? My teeth are just doing fine plus I have routine dentist check up as well, so i did break the rules a few times.

Went to a new dentist today, the new technology being used in the clinic was just amazing... the procedure was so different than my previous dentist, they took about two hours to finish my initial teeth evaluation visit. One of the procedure was to scoop the saliva underneath my gum just to see what kind of bacteria I have and to check my bacteria count. They placed it under a microscope that transferred the image to the TV that is right on top of my head. I looked up and yelled "what is that? eww.." All different kind of "sperm" looking type little thing were moving all around in that screen. "It's the bacteria" she said. She then showed me all different type of the bacteria that are "swimming" there, "here is your white blood cell, your body is fighting back with these bacteria."... Oh my god!  She then said "look at this bigger one that is not quite moving.... it's not bacteria, it is under an animal category"... Huh??? I have animal in my mouth? What the heck? It is supposed to be just a simple teeth cleaning dentist visit.. I just can't believed what I am looking at, will never imagine this without seeing it with my own eye.

So, glad to finally meet all these bacteria friends in my mouth, a real eye opening experience to me.. ya, a scary one. conclusion.... I will NEVER EVER pass my saliva to Skyler, will never share spoon, will never eat of a same plate...I just don't want those nasty little monster being passed along to him.

Please, please do the same. Do not ever share any utensil with your kids!
