Alanis Morissette breastfeed

Alanis Morissette breastfeed_The latest celebrity to wade into the debate over "attachment parenting" is musician Alanis Morissette, who says that she's prepared to breastfeed her son Ever until he's 6 years old, or until he's "finished"  The issue has been debated hotly ever since Time magazine ran an image of a mother breastfeeding a 3-year-old boy on its covew ... that Alanis Morissette takes her breastfeeding seriously. Like really seriously. She said in an interview that she may continue it for Ever.
Ever being her 17-month-old son, natch.

"I'll stop whenever he wants," the singer said on Good Morning America Thursday in regards to the controversial, popular trend of attachment parenting.

"I know some children who have weaned naturally at two years, some kids wean naturally a couple of years later; I mean, it's up to every child," she said.Alanis said if that means breastfeeding Ever when he's six, so be it.

Attachment parenting is an umbrella term used to describe nurturing techniques such as long-term breastfeeding, sleeping in the same bed as kids, etc.

The Big Bang Theory's Mayim Bialik is another famous advocate for the philosophy, which was recently featured in a buzzed-about Time magazine cover story.

A group of breastfeeding military moms brought attention to the cause as well.

Alanis, whose husband is rapper Mario "Souleye" Treadway," said: "I consider it appropriate for this particular child and this particular family."

She added she's "in a privileged position, where [she] can afford the time and resources to support this kind lifestyle … that's not possible for a lot of families."

Attachment parenting is the newest controversy these days. After Time magazine’s breastfeeding cover story caused a stir, Alanis Morissette came and reopened the topic. The former pop queen told ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ that she’s ready to breastfeed her 17-month-old son, Ever until he’s six years old.

Despite all the jokes about the 3-year-old on the breastfeeding cover of Time magazine being destined for a therapist's couch, Alanis Morissette thinks that kind of closeness is what's going to save a child from needing therapy.

Without coming out in favor of Time's controversial cover art, the Grammy winner has proudly declared herself to be an "attachment parent"—the same method of care practiced by Mayim Bialik and probably plenty of other stars who don't want to share their business with just anybody.

"I breastfeed and I'll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans," Morissette said on The Billy Bush Show.

The singer's son, Ever Imre, is 16 months old.

"I think it affords the child, when he grows up, to have a lot less therapy to go to," she continued, also revealing that Ever sleeps in the same bed as her and husband Mario "Souleye" Treadway. "For me, I protect his safety and his well-being and his attachment. That stage of development is a very important stage."

"We're definitely skin-on-skin connected as much as possible," Morissette said. But not, she quickly added, when her hubby needs private time.

"He's a very robust virile man," the "You Oughta Know" (do we, really?) singer laughed. "You gotta take care of your husband."

Your cover is exploitive & extreme," while former child star Mayim Bialik, said, "I was shocked how amazing her story was. And she gave an educated and eloquent set of responses.
