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.

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.'
