“Bear and I still sleep together,” she soon shockingly admitted, acknowledging she’ll probably “get in trouble” for sharing that tidbit, but “I don’t really care.”
Silverstone was right about being the target of naysayers, as one person on Twitter called her a “nut” for her confession. “That’s kind of creepy,” echoed another.
“I can understand that it would make some people feel uncomfortable, possibly, because it’s new to them. But I do want to let you know that this has been going on for thousands of years — still going on all over the place — and it’s natural,” she insisted. “It’s a part of the weaning process, so while I’m still breastfeeding it’s just a way to introduce him to food when he doesn’t have teeth … and he can’t chew.”

“My kid is healthy. My kid’s the happiest baby ever. He didn’t have teeth and he would choke,” the actress continued to explain and defend herself. “And, basically, how it started was simply that Bear — when he was about 5 months old — I’d be eating and he would come at me with his little mouth open and be on my mouth trying to get the food out of my mouth.”
The star, who shares her son with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, also spilled a few years ago that Bear has never taken antibiotics.
“He’s such an example of health,” the mom-of-one declared. “I’m not saying I wouldn’t give it to him. I’m saying he doesn’t need it.”
Mama’s boy?
It may be creepy or not, but I expect that the child will be tease in school now that this was made public.
This kind of upbringing philosophy is what are making our men and women soft and entitled little whinners.
By age 11, men in our generation were already thinking about sex and trying to sneak a peak under girls skirts…..and we turn out mostly OK
