A member asked:
My husband has been feeding her baby food directly out of a jar and saving the leftovers, and then feeding it to her the next day.how dangerous is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: It's best to take some of the baby food out of the jar and put it in a dish to feed her. That way the remainder will not get contaminated by the bacteria that are in her mouth. Those germs are not harmful in her own mouth, but when they sit in food for a while, they may cause growth of bacteria that will make her sick.
