Since the arrival of son Milo Thomas, Alyssa Milano has had no problem bonding with her nursing newborn.
“I was lucky to have a baby who from the moment he came into the world, was a pro at latching on,” the New Year’s Eve actress, 38, tells Best for Babes. ”I think the thing I like best about breastfeeding is the closeness I feel to Milo and knowing that he’s getting the best of me.”
And while Milano is intent on nursing her 3-month-old son, the new mom isn’t prepared to take it public.“I wish I could breastfeed in public without feeling as though a picture would show up on TMZ,” she admits. “I’ve breastfed Milo in my car numerous times and in fitting rooms at stores. But mostly, when we go out I bring a bottle of expressed milk because sadly, I’m just not comfortable feeding him in public.”
From mommy mishaps to navigating life with a newborn, Milano says there’s one place she can always turn to for much-needed advice: her Twitter followers.
“I can ask a question about anything at all and get a good variety of opinions from everyone,” she explains. “When I tweet about breastfeeding or baby stuff in general, it feels good knowing that women are there to support each other.”

The 38-year-old actress and husband David Bugliari welcomed Milo into the world seven weeks ago and they decided to decorate his room in a way he will appreciate when he is older.
Alyssa said: “David and I decorated the nursery ourselves. We wanted to give him a warm cosy space he could grow into.
“The paintings are part of the ‘John Lennon Real Love: Drawings for Sean’
artwork series.
“We thought about doing a mural but it seemed kind of depressing to one day have to paint over it. We decided we would start Milo an art collection that he could have forever and pass down.”
As well as collecting art, Alyssa is doing all she can to hang on to mementos of her baby’s first few months.
She explained: “I’ve been taking a ton of mental pictures. I’m updating his baby book – and thank goodness for the iPhone and the Hipstomatic app!”
The ‘Charmed’ star was astonished by how much love she felt for Milo when he was born.
She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “The first time I saw Milo I finally understood my purpose in life. I think it was more emotional than I thought it would be. Even now, I can’t really put into words how I felt.
“To be honest, I can’t even put into words the love I feel now when I look at him.”
Hello netters! I have some very exiting news for you lot today – so exiting in fact, that I hope it’ll make you all forget about me being absent for a few weeks ;) On August 30, our Alyssa and her David welcomed their son! We here at Alyssa Milano Online would like to give our best wishes and huge congratulations to the new parents. They are probably having the time of their lives right now! Some news bits are quoted below, and I have added some pretty photos from the baby shower to our galleries. Enjoy!
It’s a boy for Alyssa Milano and her husband, David Bugliari!
The actress and social-media star will be the boss of Milo Thomas Bugliari, born Wednesday morning. Milano and her agent hubby got their bundle of joy — clocking in at 7 pounds and 19 inches long — a little before 10 a.m., People said.
Milo is a first child for Milano and Bugliari, who married in 2009. During her pregnancy, the actress has been über-active on Twitter, tweeting her excitement, offering tips for cloth diapers and even answering fans’ questions about motherhood.
The couple told E! News in May that the baby’s name would be chosen from a list of five, after they finally met him.
Milano’s résumé includes TV series “Who’s the Boss?” with Tony Danza and the WB witch hit “Charmed,” which costarred Shannen Doherty and later Rose McGowan.
There’s a new boss in Alyssa Milano’s house: her baby boy!
The actress, 38, and husband David Bugliari welcomed a son named Milo Thomas Bugliari on Wednesday at 9:27 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs., and was 19 inches long.
In March, Milano announced on Twitter that she was expecting a boy.
The actress told PEOPLE she was having a lovely pregnancy and knew her husband would be “the most amazing father ever.”
Pregnancy definitely has Alyssa Milano all aglow.
“I feel wonderful,” the actress told PEOPLE Thursday before a private dinner honoring The Creative Coalition at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. “I’ve felt wonderful throughout my entire pregnancy, so I feel really blessed.”
With her baby boy in the really active moving stage, Milano, 38, says her growing belly is it’s own form of entertainment these days.
“Watching him shift from one side to the other is pretty bizarre but it makes me giggle,” she says. “Every time I get an ultrasound, he’s doing really funny things like sucking his thumb or elbowing me.”
The mom-to-be says her cravings’ which include white pizza with ricotta and spinach’ are far less exciting.
“I’m still craving boring things like broccoli and pizza, which isn’t much different from my normal diet. I’m a vegetarian, but I do eat cheese,” she shares. “No outrageous cravings. My doctor just told me she once had a patient that drank pickle juice’ I don’t have that!”
And her diet hasn’t changed drastically except that “I eat more of what I used to eat.”
Although Milano isn’t due until early fall, she and husband David Bugliari have already built a roster of five baby names, but she’s staying mum. An avid baseball fan, Milano even considered naming her baby after a baseball great, but the idea struck out.
“I wanted to put Clemente on the list, but my husband wouldn’t go for it. And we’re not going to settle on a name before we see him,” says Milano, who glowed in a soft gray Pea in the Pod maternity dress for the dinner.
She raves that Bugliari has been “lovely” and makes sure she’s “well taken care of” during her pregnancy. “He hasn’t missed one doctor’s appointment,” she notes. But the parents-to-be aren’t the only ones prepping for baby, so are Milano’s five dogs (two Australian Shepherds, two Chihuahuas and a German Shepherd): Dodger, Diesel, Lucy, Gibson and Quixie.
“We know that they know already, especially my Australian Shepherds because they kind of sniff at my belly obsessively,” she says. “We have everyone in training right now. We’re going to start to work with an empty carriage because I walk my dogs every day by myself, so I want to be able to do that and the baby at the same time.”
She continued, “Everyone keeps telling me to make sure that after I give birth, I get that [first] blanket that they wrap the baby in and to have someone bring it home before we get there so the dogs can smell it.”

For many of us, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like with a devastating and debilitating disease like Lymphatic Filariasis (LF). LF, also known as elephantiasis, is found in many tropical climates and is transmitted to humans through the bite of a mosquito- causing painful swelling of the limbs.
For a disease that so many people haven’t even heard of, it’s shocking to hear that it impacts over 120 million worldwide.
That’s 120 million people whose limbs are severely disfigured, making it difficult to walk. They aren’t able to work. Or take care of their families. Many are ostracized or even shunned by those in their communities. LF may not necessarily kill its victims, but it strips away dreams and perpetuates poverty.
Through my work as the founding Ambassador for the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, I learned about a project in India that helps over 23,000 people suffering from LF by teaching them how to treat and care for themselves, literally putting them back on their feet. The program also educates their families and the community about the disease making it less stigmatizing.
There is no cure for people whose limbs have already been impacted by the disease, but there are cost effective, proven interventions that can prevent transmission and alleviate the severity of the disease in those who are already infected.
However, to keep the program alive it needs a major funding boost of $75,000. When you think about it, $75,000 isn’t very expensive — only about $3.25 per person, per year — a small amount of money can make a huge impact.
That’s why, all this week, I’ve teamed up with Tonic, and the Global Network to ask all my fans to band together and contribute to this, the worthiest and most cost-effective cause we can imagine.

Reese Witherspoon is legally married. The Oscar-winning Legally Blonde actress, 35, tied the knot with her very own leading man, entertainment agent Jim Toth, 40, on Saturday evening, her rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
The couple, who became engaged in December, tied the knot in a private ceremony at Witherspoon’s ranch estate in Ojai, Calif.
A pre-wedding cocktail hour took place before the 20-minute ceremony, which started a bit late. Witherspoon walked down the aisle to “Here Comes the Bride.”
Those in attendance included Witherspoon’s children (with her first husband Ryan Phillippe), Ava, 11 and Deacon, 7, as well as Renée Zellweger, Salma Hayek, Sean Penn with Scarlett Johansson, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, and Alyssa Milano and her CAA agent husband, David Bugliari.
Tucked away between rolling hills, the Ojai Valley property offers Witherspoon and her kids plenty of privacy.
Sources have told PEOPLE that the kids bonded easily with Toth early on in his relationship with their mom.
“He’s a grownup who’s really ready to take the next step,” a source told PEOPLE about Toth around the time of the pair’s engagement. “He’s a family-oriented guy, and that’s all she ever really wanted.”
And in the run-up to the nuptials, Witherspoon was “very giddy,” added the insider, and “excited to see what the future holds.”
