Yes, Blossom Is Still Breastfeeding Her 3-Year-Old

Mayim Bialik (correction: that's Dr. Blossom to us) has said a million times before that she and her husband aren't conventional, in society's terms, when it comes to raising their two sons, 6-year-old Miles and 3.5-year-old Fred. And now Dr. Blossom has put all her holistic parenting tips in a new book called The Sling: A Real-Life Guide To Raising Confident, Loving Children The Attachment Parenting Way. In The Sling, Dr. Blossom writes about how she doesn't use diapers during potty training time, doesn't force her boys to sleep by themselves and isn't putting a date on when she's going to retire Fred's mouth from her nipple. Basically, Dr. Blossom is QUIRKY!

While promoting the book, Dr. Blossom talked to Newsok.com (via Daily Mail) about the philosophies of the attachment parenting method and how she knows it's not for all families, but it works for hers. Here's a few pieces from Dr. Blossom's interview that I've pre-chewed for you so it goes down easier. CAUTION: EXTREME HIPPINESS AHEAD:

On how they all sleep together as a family and how baby soap is devil smegma:

The progressive parents live in a very small Los Angeles home — their one-bedroom has two mattresses on the floor on which the family co-sleeps.

The children don't have a playroom filled with the latest toys — Bialik and Roosevelt have made a conscious decision to keep their material lives simple and minimal. “Our society's obsession with consumerism, especially in the realm of baby things, baby soaps and baby products. ... That's something that my husband and I, partly for frugality and partly for environmental reasons, have really rejected.”

On how letting babies piss in their quilted chonies can confuse them later when we tell them to sink the toilet Cheerios with their piss streams:

In “Beyond the Sling,” Bialik also writes about elimination communication as a form of early potty training that encourages parents to recognize their child's natural signals instead of waiting until the child is older, then introducing the toilet.

“You're basically training your child to use their pants as a bathroom and then two years later we have to turn around and do all sorts of complicated manipulations to get them to unlearn that,” she said.

On how she's letting Fred decide when he's had enough of her leche knob:

They were breast-fed until ready to quit — Bialik still nurses Fred sporadically, as he slowly weans himself.

What I've learned from this is that raising babies is hard, it requires a lot of thinking and it's really, really fucking weird.

Dr. Blossom wrote a piece on her blog last September about how she tried to wean Fred off of her titty, but doing so made her realize that she'll just let him suckle on her nipple until he's done done. The last time I wrote about breastfeeding, La Leche League slapped me with a leaky nipple and squirted a whole lot of TRUTH into my eyes. They were right. I know nothing about breastfeeding. The closest I've come to breastfeeding is the time some trick was sucking on my nipple knob and made a sour puckery look like he just sucked up something gross. It was probably just a little old shower gel that was stuck up in there. I don't know. I also don't know if nursing a child with teeth makes your nipples look like chewed up pieces of pizza sausage (I'm sure there's nipple rejuvenation surgery for that). But I do know that Dr. Blossom seems to care about not raising a couple of douchebags and I can appreciate that.

Although, I will side-eye that bitch if in 20 years she uploads a video of her squirting chichi leche into Fred's mouth after he takes a bite of his wedding cake.

Why do people get offended by a kid getting what it needs (calcium and antidodes)!?

antidodes? never heard of them. are they the opposite of uncledodes?

Cross my palm with tuna

There's not much hippy-dippy about me except that I too let my children self-wean. It seemed so natural and normal - though I would've been far too self-conscious to do it in public after infancy. (People get way too weirded out!) My kids have grown to be self-confident, independent adults... I think nursing provides not only physical nourishment but lots of emotional benefit too; it's a gift from nature when allowed to work as designed.

Why do people get offended by a kid getting what it needs (calcium and antidodes)!? Why would milk from another mamal be better? I didn't even know I was going to breastfeed. My baby girl is now 1 year old, and i still breastfeed. I feel the same, when she is ready I am ready, even if we want another child.
Why would it make dependant kids and what is wrong with a kid depending and relying on parents? I hope she'll always know that i am there for her and give her the best.
Everybody his, but I love a parent who at least tries. Go blossem

I wonder if her hubby gets off on the breastfeeding? A lot of men go for it.

There are lots of moms in New Zealand and Australia who don't use diapers. It's not that unusual and has been that way forever. You do have to be a stay at home mom and watch for the signals...much like your dog gives you signals when he's got to go out. Kids will let you know. Yeah, and then basically you just hold them over the loo. Not that big of a deal.

And as far as not buying stuff...so what. Is this still a hippy thing? I am surrounded by people who have loads of shit and no money and they're whining about how the rich make too much money and need to be taxed more to take care of their kids. Fucktards.

Sorry, I don't hate her. She's living responsibly and within her means. She's the opposite of the Kuntrashians on TV pushing us to buy crap that most people can't afford.

I can't tell you how many times I had cover when someone couldn't come in when their kid was sick. What about with I get sick? I have to drag ass into the office.

-----------------

I used to work in a place where the work culture allowed women with small kids to use the kids as an excuse. If one of them didn't want to do something, she'd call in saying that "junior is sick" and just like that she'd be off the hook. It was understood that later she'd cover for another mom who wanted to avoid something.

It was a bizarre and unprofessional work culture. This was on Long Island. If any one of those woman got a job in the NYC, she wouldn't last a month. I was very glad to get out of there.

There ARE women who use the kids as an excuse for unacceptable behavior, and feel they are above suspicion because "I am a mom, and my child comes first, of course!"

"I have children, your argument is invalid." It's bullshit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I WILL give you that EASILY!!

On the flip side, YOU give me the bullshit hungover P.O.S. EVERYONE gets in there offices.

On another note....... SOME of us moms DO NOT use our kids for excuses. Trust me that we ARE fucking drunk SLORES *on hold*....

Really? What did you use YOUR sick days for? Hangovers? While us parents with sick kids got NO sleep, NO food, probably thrown up on or peed on in the middle of the night, a run to Walgreens or Rite Aid in pajamas. And, least us not forget, possible trip to the ER with a SUPER sick kid, where a *reasonable* wait time is 4 hours.

---------------
Yes, thank you! I'm sorry, but people really think parents just love taking time off work to stay at home with their sick kids? I would rather work any day of the week than spend 36 hours awake, with no food, with my son sicker than I have ever seen someone be sick, scared because he has no idea why he feels so awful and is stuck in a hospital with people drawing his blood and hooking up IV's to get 105 fever down that won't go down. Yes, I really pulled one over on my work buddies so that I could stay home and get out of that work project.

ETA - Then after all that, parents have to drag their asses into work without any rest, BTW.

Girl, you are STRONG to do what you do. I appreciate that strength as well as your perspective.

There are tons of unconventional parents out there, and she just happens to be a former child star who talks about her unconventional methods. Agree or disagree, I think she's trying to do what she feels is best for her kid and family and share her experiences.

Whatever. She seems to love her kids and is trying to raise them simply. We have enough Kartrashian-like kids in the world concerned with superficiality and consumerism.

I love how these self-righteous hos declare themselves a parenting success when their oldest kid is all of six. Get over yourself, bitch, and come back and see us when that spoiled, entitled bundle of psycho is 25.

Maybe her kids aren't actually special needs though? My cousin was given therapy for a minor speech impediment aged 5. She became what is known as a selective mute, still is to some extent aged 17. Pointing out her flaws and forcing her into therapy made her stop talking. It can and does happen.

If you do what I do for a living, you're rolling your eyes at the outrage here on the comments.

I am happy if you don't beat the shit out of your kids, don't starve them, are awake when they are, get them medical care when needed, and don't leave them with your boyfriend (AKA the dude who got with you so he could molest your kids or beat them to death) and do not misuse any substance that alters your consciousness, especially when they are in your care.

"Good enough" parents get too much shit. At least she's there for her kids and tries to do right by them with what she knows.

Here's my thought: we all need to get over ourselves and realize that we all have our own sets of issues and put ourselves in the other guys' shoes. Parents have kids who get sick and have soccer practice and nobody to feed the kids if they don't get home on time. Singletons have pets and lives and nobody is going to feed the dog or grocery shop for them if they don't get home on time. There will ALWAYS be people who abuse the system; singletons who party every weekend and call in hungover on Monday /AND/ parents who would rather stay home with Junior than go into work and slave over that miserable project. I've worked with BOTH types, and I'll bet so have you.

Can't we all just get along?

Oh. And for the record? I think Blossom breast feeding her toddler is weird. Sorry, but I do. Hate on me if you will. I appreciate that she's not pushing her methods on anybody else, but... eeewwww. I'm too much like Cartman -- hippies scare me. I come from the OLD school that says, if they're old enough to ask for it, they're too old. But that's just me.

200 comments and rising! Zac Efron's buttcheeks are clenched with jealousy!
There was a time of baggy dresses with giant bows and never saying the word "pregnant". American women thought breastfeeding was peasanty and would lead to clingy kids. Of course, in those days, people didn't dare admit they didn't want kids or that they were gay. Today we're about five minutes away from a flash birth...
The pendulum swings. I don't have time to worry 'bout what anyone else does or what they think about what I do. Can't control people actively despising children to their faces any more than a titty at the next table at lunch.

Kids basically turn out the same, regardless of which side of the spectrum they're raised on. They grow up, get jobs, do whatever and then they die. Life as we know it is temporary so don't take it so seriously. But I admire her for doing as she pleases and discussing it, rather than preaching that her way is best.

Like every parent in the world is a hideous example of humanity and all kids are rotten. They must have hated themselves as kids then! The self-loathing is still apparent.

I must add that our childless friends are delightful and have no bitterness at all toward families. They even compromise by meeting us an hour later/earlier etc due to babysitting availablity and I love 'em for it and they like that we wait to talk about anything but kids! I can't imagine only having friends that are parents or if I were childless, having no friends who are parents. What a homogeneous and boring world that would be! And how limiting.

Baby Slore just got out of hospital after a week stay for Bronchitis and mild Pneumonia. That kept ME from working for a week so I lost a week's pay. Yeah, I'm a slacker.

I've been lucky the last 2 years to be able to work from home... but it is not all it's chalked up to be. If I am not ACTIVELY working, I don't get paid.

My life is not overflowing with other mommies as, at my age, you don't find too many military wives who have small chilluns. So, I get pretty defensive towards childfree jerkoffs who think us parents are slagging off at our jobs.

Most don't realize that working moms tend to go to work when THEY are sick and ONLY take off work FOR THE CHILDS SAKE.

I don't agree with the way it was put, but I have to agree with some of the original post. we all have to take off work for various reasons that can be family related or important. However, I do believe more slack is given when a parent calls in sick, or leaves early, for a sick child.

I don't think workers with children are slackers or taking off work and blaming it on a sick kid, but employers seem to be much more flexible and less judgmental when that person has a sick kid.

In the work field there should be no special treatment. Everyone should get the same amount of PTO or sick time. If you have to use your sick days because of your kid, that's was your choice and is your responsibility. And if I want to use my sick day bc of a hangover, it's my choice. No worker should get additional time or leeway because you have a kid.

If you have a sick kid n have to call in, that's how you use your sick day.. I don't think it's being a slacker, but spare me the sob story. When you have a kid, you give up everything for yourself.. Including the luxury of calling in sick when ur sick or possibly hungover. Caring for a sick child n turning around, dead tired, to support that child is part of the game. We all go through phases on our lives.. From the hangover, to the sick child, to sick spouse.. If you don't have a kid and are bitching, just remember that will be you in a couple years. I been on both sides n I think the most worthless fucks are those who dont bother showing up or calling in!!

Mo matter everyone takes off now n again.. Everyone ends up having to cover for those who don't make it to the office.. As long as it's not taken advantage of, it's that persons choice how they wish to use their sick days..

But we all worked it out (the parents in the dept. felt bad that they were so openly favored) and in the end, it was fine.

People need to stop being such wah wah victims and so offended by every little thing. We're all just little ants on this planet and no-one will give a shit in 50 years.

Truth! My boyfriend is one of 3 people that do the same job and one of the other two is a single mom and uses that to get out of all the difficult assignments and my BF and the other girl have to cover for her all the time, and she gets half days when the kids have a random school holiday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the *single mom* is getting out of all the difficult assignments by using her kid as an excuse, I am CERTAIN it has come to the attention of higher ups. If not, they are idiots and your BF should point it out. Or, nut up and confront the single mom himself.

MOST of us who have CHOSEN to be PARENTS did so because we honestly wanted to TAKE CARE OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!!! Not a *furkid* that can pretty much survive on their own (once big enough bowls of water and food is put down).

Do I fault those who don't have kids?! Hell to tha fuckin NAW! I honestly thought I was DUN with the BUN.... but married someone younger and OOOPSIE... had my last one at 38 years old. I should be out having dranks with my 25 year old. But, I am back in Mommy Mode and IT SUX DEAD DONKEY DICK!!!!

Would I change it? Not for all the Whiskey I KNOW is under Fury's sink. (wink)

Maybe it'll help folks who are insecure to just think of kids as little humans you are raising into sexual maturity. It'll get complicated, messy, and weird... but that's life. Kids are resilient. You can tell them No when they want something. You don't need to compare notes with everyone since everyone is different. I think parents need to get drunk more or have more angry sex.

you dont want a kid, good for you. you want to look down at me for doing it, well thats just great. ive experienced plenty of it. i cant tell other women i didnt breastfeed my son because they will freak the fuck out about it. how the fuck would you feel if you had to go back on antimalarial drugs three days after you had your baby? you had a premature child that couldnt even latch on even if you needed him to? this is the shit that happens. im pretty fucking happy with my kid and the way i raised him but that's my fucking business and no one elses. now im sorry, i have an opinion about breastfeeding your 3 year old, whether i did it or not. i think it's gross and unnecessary. does that mean its wrong and people need to stop? no it's just my fucking opinion. you have yours about me, i have mine about you. big deal. unless there is serious abuse going on, stop judging other people and move on with your life.

oh, and what irish fury said too.

She makes some good points. Regular baby soap is full of motherfuckin methylparabens and shit, it's bad for the baby, mom and environment. You're better off with some castile soap. If she can not use diapers and doesn't give a fuck-props! I think it's a little awkward to breast-feed past a certain age personally, but who cares about her. If she wants to do it more power to her, it's undeniably healthy. I know plenty of 20-something hippie kids that breast-fed awkwardly long and are pretty rad. The boys do like titties a whole lot. . .but who doesn't!

I can't tell you how many times I had cover when someone couldn't come in when their kid was sick. What about with I get sick? I have to drag ass into the office.

Truth! My boyfriend is one of 3 people that do the same job and one of the other two is a single mom and uses that to get out of all the difficult assignments and my BF and the other girl have to cover for her all the time, and she gets half days when the kids have a random school holiday.

If it works for her, good. At least she seems to not be telling other people that it is the only way to parent. I'm a member at CafeMom.com and some of those woman are crazy. One woman was having a fit because her SAHM sister in law was putting her child in day care. Oh the horror.

Anyone who says "well, you don't have to read the book..." did you have the same opinion when Pimp Mama Kris penned her gem???? Probably not...
Like I said in my first post no two people will EVER AGREE on how parenting should be done to a T.

You think you whores are the best moms or better than the best moms b/c you've never grown a being inside of you and then spurted it out?

Let me tell you whores something about parenting abilities:

So, my advice is you can’t make a ho a housewife. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Let her do what she born to do: ho. Yeah. HO. Punk bitch.

So basically just let the kids do what they want to do because that works out for so many people. If the kid is old enough to say the word "titty," he's too old to be sucking on one.

Well if she's putting her shtick out there, she better be able to take the heat. As long as she's not nursing until the age of 8, Game of Thrones style (shudders), and not whipping out the boob just daring passersby to give it a second look, I don't really have a problem with it. Whatever.

Ok, so the kids are breastfeeding at will, with all the milk flow and spills, and they are potty training at will, with all the excrement flow and spills, and the family is not using soap products.
I see how you got that subway seat all to your self Dr. Blossom.

no kidding! I'm also amazed at all the rude comments against people that are parents.
