Some mothers mistakenly think that their mouth germs are similar to that of their babies and put the spoon they used to feed the child into their mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n  \n  <nav class=\"oxyplug-toc\">\n    <div class=\"toggle-toc\">\n  <span>Table of Contents<\/span>\n  <a href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-label=\"Show\">\n    <span>Hide<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n    <ul>\n              <li class=\"toc-h2\">\n          <a href=\"#transmission-of-cariogenic-germs-into-the-mouth\">\n            Transmission of cariogenic germs into the mouth          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n              <li class=\"toc-h2\">\n          <a href=\"#transmission-of-the-virus-from-mother-to-child\">\n            Transmission of the virus from mother to child          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n              <li class=\"toc-h3\">\n          <a href=\"#does-blowing-of-the-childs-food-transmit-contamination\">\n            Does blowing of the child\u2019s food transmit contamination?          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n              <li class=\"toc-h3\">\n          <a href=\"#are-oral-bacteria-transmitted-to-the-fetus-during-pregnancy\">\n            Are oral bacteria transmitted to the fetus during pregnancy?          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n          <\/ul>\n  <\/nav>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"transmission-of-cariogenic-germs-into-the-mouth\">Transmission of cariogenic germs into the mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cariogenic germs of the mother\u2019s mouth can enter the baby\u2019s mouth and may affect their erupting teeth.

Hence, mothers should avoid putting the baby\u2019s spoon or pacifier in their mouth to prevent pathogenic germs from entering the baby\u2019s mouth, the most important of which are cariogenic germs. About 38% of children\u2019s mouth infections are due to this misbehavior of mothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"transmission-of-the-virus-from-mother-to-child\">Transmission of the virus from mother to child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to cariogenic germs, viruses such as the genital wart virus (HPV), which can cause throat cancer, may also exist in the mouth and be transmitted very quickly and easily from mother to child through this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the baby should have a separate spoon and plate to prevent the transmission of viruses and microbes from the mother\u2019s mouth. Kissing the lips of a child can also transmit viral and bacterial infections. About 14% of children\u2019s oral infections are caused by kissing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-blowing-of-the-childs-food-transmit-contamination\">Does blowing of the child\u2019s food transmit contamination?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to studies, even blowing off a baby\u2019s food can transmit an oral cavity infection. This condition becomes more critical when mothers have a cold or illness. Avoid blowing the baby\u2019s food and let it cool down by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-oral-bacteria-transmitted-to-the-fetus-during-pregnancy\">Are oral bacteria transmitted to the fetus during pregnancy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. That is why mothers are advised to pay more attention to their oral health during pregnancy to prevent cariogenic germs transmission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mother\u2019s oral germs may be transmitted to the baby\u2019s mouth for whatever reason, the most common of which is using a shared spoon by mother and child.
