Mayim Bialik says breastfeeding in public is intimate, not sexual

'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.
