The mum says she likes feeding him like he is a chicken – but others were not impressed
‘He loves it,’ she said, sprinkling more onto the carpet.
The video went viral, earning the mum millions of likes – but not everyone was on board.
‘She’s literally feeding her baby off the f***ing ground how is that okay bc she’s sick… don’t be a mom if u can’t take care of it,’ one woman said.
‘Floors harbour dangerous bacteria, so you really need a proper mat to do this on, not just your dirty carpet,’ said another.
‘How lazy are you?’ asked a third.
The mum called it ‘survival mode’ and other mothers were quick to back her up.
‘These comments show how many people have never been sick and left alone to look after their child,’ one woman said.
‘It is a great way to keep him mobile and busy,’ added a second.
The mum said her baby loves the game – and is always keen to fetch the snacks
While a third joked: ‘He is a free-range, grass-fed baby.’
Some mums said their kids always pour their food on the floor anyway, and applauded the woman for cutting out the middle man.
But other mums said they have been sick and left alone with their kids and never thrown food on the floor for them.
