Milla Jovovich feels a bond between mother and her child can be strengthened by stepping away from modern-day motherhood and going back to basics.
Jovovich, 39, said there are no better role models for the simple lifestyle than mothers in third-world countries, reported People magazine.
"I feel that the connection with children and mothers is so strong in places where there are not so many 'things' to get in the way.
"No electronic distraction devices, no high-tech baby equipment, just a mother carrying her little one everywhere, sharing a family bed and having the help of all the other women around to raise the baby," she said.
Jovovich feels "the Western way of raising kids is so disconnected", especially when it comes to sleeping arrangements.
"Everyone has their cubicle at home, babies go into nurseries, little kids have their own rooms. You are so separated from one another!," she added.
