Star of The Big Bang Theory Mayim Bialik has slammed a controversial magazine cover, reports Jackie Brygel
Her brainy character Amy Farrah Fowler is known for telling it like it is on hit show The Big Bang Theory. And actress Mayim Bialik has proven that she, too, isn’t afraid to express her views on an issue she’s passionate about – even if that means she is seen as unconventional.
Parenting advocate and mother-of-two Mayim, 36, has come out swinging over a controversial Time magazine cover featuring the headline “Are you mom enough?” splashed across a picture of a mother breastfeeding her almost-four-year-old child.
Revealing that she still breastfeeds her youngest son Frederick, who, like the child in the magazine, is almost four, the former Blossom star told Access Hollywood Live: “There’s no scientific evidence that there’s anything wrong with breastfeeding an older baby or older child.
“The notion that breasts are only sexual is simply not true,” she continues. “The notion that you have to make a child independent as soon as possible is simply not the only way to get an independent child later on.”
