      Mayim Bailik Slams Time Magazine's Attachment Parenting Cover for Causing Competition Among Mothers


      Actress Mayim Bailik has slammed the recent Time magazine over its attachment parenting cover.
      The 36-year-old mother of two, who breastfeeds her three-year-old son Fred, told Anderson Cooper that the magazine's cover has encouraged mothers to be critical of one another.
      Dr Bailik tells Cooper on a new episode of Anderson which airs later today: 'Time magazine has made this a competition, "are you mom enough?" None of us [attachment parents] feel that way.'

      Scroll down for video
      Opinion: Mayim Bialik, the star of Blossom, has criticised Time magazine for its controversial breastfeeding-mother cover. She told Anderson Cooper that the magazine has turned parenting into a 'competition'

      The magazine's cover, which had featured the headline Are You Mom Enough?, had showed Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26-year-old mother from Los Angeles, breastfeeding her almost four-year-old son.
      Dr Bialik, who is an attachment parenting advocate and also stars on the TV series The Big Bang Theory, added that the controversial method is extremely misunderstood.

         'I think a lot of people hear this term and think a lot of things, that there's some attachment parenting police, that if you have a c-section, you're out.
        'If you don't breastfeed, you're out... it's simply not that.'

        She was joined on the talk show by fellow actress Rebecca Romijn, who was also quizzed about the parenting technique.
        Controversy: The cover, which was released earlier this month, has sparked plenty of talk

         Romijn, a mother of two who does not practice attachment parenting, said it sounds 'exhausting' to her.

        She said: 'Because you don't get a break in attachment parenting, your child is always around.
        'As a mom, you have to make sure you're happy for your children to be happy and you have to make sure your husband or your partner is happy so your children can see that.'

        Dr Bialik argued that parenting is exhausting 'any way you cut it. I think it's erroneous to assume that people who participate in attachment parenting don't also believe that.
        We may believe it differently and it may look differently... it may not look like weekends away with my husband a month after my baby is born, it may not look like I'm at the spa and out with my girlfriends.'

         Romijn, who is married to actor Jerry O'Connell, shot back at Dr Bialik: 'Well, I've never done any of that either.'
        She added that some elements of attachment parenting frightened her.
        The technique involves parents co-sleeping with their children in order to ensure their safety throughout the night.

         Romijn said: 'That was always my biggest fear, my giant husband, who doesn't miss a second of sleep, rolling over my baby.'

         Cooper added that some doctors believes there is the technique could lead to sudden infant death syndrome also.

        Panel: Rebecca Romijn, middle, joined Dr Bialik, right, on the show. The blonde actress said she was frightened by elements of attachment parenting

        Mothers: Dr Bialik, right, argued that children are not susceptible to be rolled over onto if a parent co-sleeps with them

        But Dr Bialik, who wrote the book titled Beyond The Sling: A Real-Life Guide To Raising Confident, Loving Children The Attachment Parenting Way, argued that 'that doesn't happen.'

         'The notion is sleeping near a child safely, whether that's sharing a bed surface safely or having them near you. It make sense, it facilitates breastfeeding.'
        She gave further insight into the life of her children; Fred and Miles, six.

        She told  Cooper: 'We have two beds on the floor next to each other. Honestly there is a natural desire for independence at night that does come.'
        Comparing the feelings to those of a romantic couple, she added: 'Most adults you know do not want to sleep alone, it's not normal, it is normal to want to be close to someone who loves you at night.
        'There's nothing weird about it.'

        Charlize Theron has says she never planned on becoming a single mother.
        The Oscar-winning actress - whose baby Jackson was born in her native South Africa in March - had always thought about adopting but never contemplated doing it without a man in her life.

        She added: 'I always knew I would adopt. Always.'
        Charlize is currently promoting her new film Snow White and the Huntsman in Spain and was spotted today on an off-duty outing in Madrid with her son. 
        The start has always been open about her desire to adopt, saying in 2011: 'I'm open to everything in life. I want a baby. If it would happen tomorrow I would be very happy.'

        Too cute: The actress' little one wore a lime green onesie

        Charlize split from her partner boyfriend of 9 years, Stuart Townsend, in 2010. 
        But the 36-year-old screen beauty won't be getting hitched any time soon as she thinks marriage is nothing more than a ceremony. 
        She said: 'It has never been that important to me. I don't know why exactly. Some might say it's because my parents didn't have a good marriage, but I don't think so. I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.'

        Alanis Morisette Talks Attachment Parenting



        Alanis Morissette has revealed she still breastfeeds her 16-month-old son Ever Imre and has no plans to stop any time soon.
        The 37-year-old singer - who is married to Mario 'Souleye' Treadway - believes attachment parenting is important for her child's well-being.

         'I'm an attachment parent. I breastfeed and I'll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans.
        'I think it affords the child, when he grows up, to have a lot less therapy to go to. For me, I protect his safety and his well-being and his attachment. That stage of development is a very important stage.'

        Attachment parenting has received much attention in recent weeks thanks to a TIME magazine cover which featured a young mother breast-feeding a child nearly four.
        .
        Alanis tells Access Hollywood: 'We're definitely skin-on-skin connected as much as possible.'

        However, despite her dedication to attachment parenting - which encourages constant contact between parent and child  - the Ironic hitmaker insists it doesn't stop her finding the time to be intimate with her husband.
        She said: 'He's a very robust virile man. You gotta take care of your husband.'

        Alanis recently revealed she installed a recording studio in her home when working on her new album Havoc And Bright Lights because she didn't want to be too far away from her son.
        Happy family: The singer with husband Mario Treadway and their son earlier this month

        Talking about the album, she said: 'To be honest I wrote it post-partum the whole few months after my son was born, so I barely remember the process. 
        'It was in our home, and we built a makeshift studio in what is now the playroom because I'm an attachment parent, so I wanted to be able to breastfeed. 
        'So it was literally in and out of this room, writing, recording, being a mom, back and forth in my house. I barely remember it and I wouldn't say I was letting loose, but I was having fun.'

        Talking point: Attachment parenting has come under the spotlight thanks to this controversial TIME magazine cover
