'Big Bang Theory' actress Mayim Bialik, who has two sons with former hubby Michael Stone, has defended breastfeeding in public, saying that it's not a sexual act, but an intimate act.
The 38-year-old star told the Huffington Post that feeding a baby through a bottle is same as breast feeding.
Bialik explained that she doesn't believe that one needs to cover up a baby eating, anymore than one needs to cover up a baby drinking a bottle.
The mum-of-two added that seeing women breastfeed can make some people uncomfortable, but it's completely normal.
