Celebrity Babywearers of the Day

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber wearing son Alexander in Manhattan on Monday...
Natascha McElhone slinging her one-month-old newborn on Tuesday...
Mayim Bialik (Blossom blast from the past!) babywearing and nursing new son Fred.  On a side note, did you know that Mayim completed her PhD in Neuroscience last year?  How much does she rock!

UPDATE:  Celebrity Baby Blog is now reporting a new statement just released by Mayim Bialik revealing that she had a home birth, breastfeeds on-demand, and is not sending her oldest son to school!:
Frederick Heschel arrived at 8:32 a.m. on Friday, August 15th, weighing in at 7 lbs, 15 oz and 20 ¼ inches long. His first name is for my grandpa, and his middle name is for Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma. In Hebrew, Ephraim Hirsch.

He was born after a remarkably fast and beautiful natural one-and-a-half hour labor at our home, assisted only for the final pushing stage of labor! I used hypnosis for pain management. Frederick was born with my water never breaking, known as being born "in the caul" (amniotic sac). Our 3-year-old, Miles, watched the whole thing from his highchair while eating granola!

Frederick is exclusively breastfed on demand and doubled his birth weight by two months of age! Miles does not attend preschool, so he is home with us all the time, is adjusting really well and doing pretty great."

  2. SO cool. I didn't know it's possible to deliver without the water breaking...nature is so fascinating.

    And what's the deal with 90's child stars turning out way cooler than the Lohan's of today? I'm thinking not only Mayim but also Danica Patrick (Winnie from Wonder Years!) who has a PhD in math...

  3. Oh good, I sometimes wonder what happened to her. So glad she turned out to be amazing. I was in high school when her show was on, and I apparently looked a lot like her at the time so my friends began calling me Blossom. Yup, I even have year book entries that start off with Blossom. "Stay Sweet Blossom!"
    Sometimes I would be stopped by complete strangers who thought that I was actually Mayim. I really never saw the resemblance, but it was fun. :~)

  4. Oh my gosh, I hadn't heard anything about her in ages, how cool!! I loved the show Blossom when I was a tween.

  5. I watched a show about birth and saw, for the first time, a baby born still in the sac. And something about it made me all warm and fuzzy inside.
