The mere thought of a baby being given whiskey is enough to send shivers down any parent's spine. Unfortunately, this nightmare became a reality for one father when his mother-in-law decided to administer alcohol to his six-month-old daughter.
The father is now beside himself with anger and frustration as he tries to process how someone he trusts could commit such a reckless and potentially dangerous act.
Teething is a natural process that babies go through, but it can also be a painful and uncomfortable experience for both the baby and the parents. One age-old remedy that some mothers have turned to is putting whiskey on their baby’s gums to relieve the pain.
While this practice may seem alarming to some, it has been used for generations as a quick and easy solution to soothe a teething baby.
Recently, a mother found herself in hot water with her husband after allowing her mother to rub whiskey on their baby's gums to soothe teething pains.
The mom believed in her mother's knowledge of natural remedies and trusted her ability to alleviate the baby's discomfort.
But her husband saw it as a dangerous and irresponsible act.
The husband's reaction was swift and harsh, demanding that the mother's mother never be allowed to administer any remedies to their baby again.
In response, many were torn as some felt this just shows a difference in generations and it is not too bad, while some felt the husband was spot on.
The majority of the users sided with Mom.
Some didn't see it that way

What are your thoughts on this whiskey trick? Would you do it? People have done this for ages and it seems to work, right?
Let us know what you think in the comments.
And just because this is the time we live in, I’ll say, “We do not in any way condone or support giving alcohol to children.”
