How can i tell friends or family not to feed my baby after them, i mean with their spoons or from their cups, im fear about bacterias and my kids!

UNSANITARY FEEDING: Correct them at once when you see them and educate them that infections are transmitted by not using their own spoons and cups. You do not want your kid to get sick!

Building immunity: You have nothing to fear. Your child is constantly being exposed to germs by the mere fact that he is breathing exposure to germs help stimulate his immune system to build up antibodies but you are right about discoursing your family t from sharing their utensils.
