Alicia Silverstone Reveals She Still Sleeps In Same Bed With Her 11-Year-Old Son Bear

Alicia Silverstone is taking a natural approach when it comes to raising her son, Bear Blu.

The Clueless actress recently said on The Ellen Fisher Podcast that she still shares the same bed with her 11-year-old who she shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki.

“Bear and I still sleep together,” she said. Silverstone, 45, claims that she is just “following nature” with her attachment style of parenting.

“If you were in any kind of wild setting where there are animals … if you put your baby over there,” she said, pointing away from herself, “your baby is going to get eaten. It’s not ideal for the baby to be over there.”

She calls herself “a natural mama” and “a loving mama” as her parenting style focuses on gentle communication, love, and cutting out things like TV from their home.

“The things I’m doing I’m not inventing, I didn’t invent any of it. I would love to take credit for all of it but it’s not me unfortunately, it’s just me following nature,” she said.

Ten years earlier in 2012, Silverstone sparked controversy when she revealed she would pre-chew her son’s food and pass it from her mouth to his as a mother bird does to her babies. She even posted a video on YouTube defending the feeding technique.

She also opened up about potty-training Bear, saying she didn’t use diapers and “watch[ed] his cues” to know when he needed to go to the bathroom.

“It’s so awesome. It’s so easy,” she explained. “When I was done feeding him, he would go to the bathroom in the toilet. When he woke up from a nap, he went to the bathroom.”

“There was a period of time where I was watching him naked and watching the cues,” Silverstone added. “The cues part for me was really fun because I thought that he was flirting with me because he would do this little smile. That’s when he had to pee.”
