'Big Bang Theory's' Mayim Bialik Finally Weans Her 4-Year-Old, Tells World

Whether you agree with her parenting style or not, “The Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik can certainly keep you interested in what she’s up to in her unconventional “attachment parenting.”

And the biggest news in Bialik’s life is no longer her upcoming divorce, but the weaning of her four-year-old son, Fred.

Bialik took to the website, kveller, to discuss the weaning process in great detail and defend herself again those who considered her methods detrimental to her son’s development.

“Well, nay-sayers, prepare to be proven wrong. All of you snarky mamas who glared at me nursing my 3 1/2 –year-old on the NYC subway,prepare to be amazed. And to all of my family and friends who wanted to chastise me about nursing a walking, talking, thinking, laughing little man named Fred, thanks for holding your tongues… Because we did it,” Bialik crows.

“Fred isn’t going to nurse on his way down the wedding aisle or at his high school graduation. I didn’t need to break him of a ‘habit’ and teach him ‘who’s in charge.’ I didn’t need to set boundaries you thought I should have set when I didn’t want to set them. Because we did it. Fred weaned.”

Bialik describes the weaning of her son, and admits:

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss being able to latch him on and make it all better. We have other ways to soothe Fred now. When he’s very very upset or very very hurt, we lay on the couch where he nursed countless mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and we rock and I sing to him hisfavorite lullabies. And he holds me tight, and I hold him tight, and I know that there was never ever ever anything wrong with nursing Fred. Even when he was in 4T jeans. With a mouth full of teeth. Even when people laughed and sneered and accused me of horrible things no mother should ever be accused of when tending to the normal and beautiful needs of her mammal child. It was never wrong and it was always right.”
