Vanessa Lachey is Pro-Celebrity Mom

Vanessa Lachey her husband Nick Lachey are expecting a baby together.

Lachey has already come forward to set the record straight about what she thinks about Celebrity Momsters in the news:

"No one can tell anybody how to mother until you're a mother -- and everyone has their own methods and I think it's beautiful that these celebrity moms are doing what they're doing unapologetically because it's their child and it's their life. I just wish that as a society we could just commend them for being mothers."

I think Lachey says it really well. We need to celebrate all mothers and styles of mothering and see what we can learn from each other.

One mom’s way of feeding her child may not be right for us and our child, but it doesn’t make it wrong.

It’s easy enough to see why pre-chewing one’s baby’s food could be seen as a really sensible way to feed a baby to me, but I know others would argue it could be harmful. And I’m sure both sides could find experts to argue their position.

In the end, we need to let parents do what is best for their family without judgment.

Except, of course, for clearly creepy things like dressing their babies like strippers!

OK, so I’ve still got judgments, too…

Alicia Silverstone's Chewed Food Baby Diet

Following up on January Jones’ placenta pills is the latest buzzing story about Alicia Silverstone from Celebrity Baby Scoop.

She likes to feed her baby food that she chews up first in her own mouth and then just kind of transfer it to 10-month-old Bear Blu’s mouth.

Some people are supportive and some are totally icked out about the whole affair.

True, it goes against our instincts and what we’ve learned about germs, not to mention that as mothers we’ve even been warned about kissing our babies on the mouth because of the transfer of germs.

But at the same time, Silverstone has a point about this being the way other animals feed their young.

While I never took it as extreme as Silverstone, I can remember a few times pre-chewing some morsels for my babies to make it easier for them to eat.

I guess being a mother of three now it takes more than hearing about chewed food to make me feel queasy.

I mean, I’ve been peed, pooped and thrown up on numerous times. I’ve seen more tushies in various states of messiness than I ever imagined possible.

What’s the big deal about a little pre-chewed food?
