Alanis Morissette May Breastfeed Son Until Age 6
by Free Britney at .You oughta know ... 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."

She said may. I too did attachment parenting and didn't care how long I breast fed for my daughter stopped when she was three because she was too busy doing other things. At that age it's used more for security, to feel safe. My son weened him self at two. It does not create perverts etc it creates very secure children. He is obviously not going to feed all day all night use your brains people. Look into before you bag it. I dont agree with bottles or formula but I'm not going to sit there an pick on every one who uses it. Each to there own
Pippy 81 Everyones. opinion may not match yours!You are stupid and ignorant and grow up!!! I agree with Listy mist!
Alanis is a pig and breast feeding until 6 is a disgusting idea because a child that age has no nutritional need for it:-( They can eat and drink to meet their nutritional needs!!! Breast feeding should be private!!! Not in public and infants only!!!
HEY listymist if that is an issue for you DON'T go out in public IT'S AS MUCH OF A MOTHER'S RIGHT TO BREASTFEED ANYWHERE NEEDED AS IT IS FOR YOU TO BREATH!!! People like you are so judgemental & not needed YOU ARE A DISGUST TO HUMAN POPULATION!!!
