Father Enraged After Mother-In-Law Decided To Give Whiskey To His 6-Month-Old

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 a tough situation regarding this topic and posted about it on the r/AITA subreddit.

People in the comments understood how complicated the situation is. 

Another Redditor continued:

What is your opinion on the whiskey trick? People have done it forever 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.”
