Alyssa Milano’s parenting style was questioned after her recent Instagram post sparked mixed reactions online. The actress recently shared a sweet moment of closeness with her daughter cosleeping on her bed.

Alyssa Milano recently offered fans an intimate peek into her life as a mother. In a snapshot uploaded to Instagram, Milano shared a serene moment of co-sleeping with her daughter.

Capturing the essence of motherhood, she showed her young daughter, sound asleep and draped across her, embodying a scene of peace and familial love. Milano captioned the post, “This is what co-sleeping looks like.”

While a sweet sight, Milano’s post has since ignited a flurry of comments and opinions from fans and social media spectators alike. Critics of the post expressed concerns over the child’s age for co-sleeping.

Some comments included sharp remarks like, “She’s too big. She needs her own apartment” and “Definitely not.” Another comment suggested that Milano was seeking attention, saying, “She is a bit old for co sleeping, this is your attention magnet.”

However, the Instagram share was also met with an outpouring of support and positivity from many who saw the act as a universal expression of maternal affection. Supporters shared their own experiences and sentiments, with one writing, “I love that it’s pure love. It looks so much like us! But sometimes, it’s my daughter’s feet I have on my face.”

Others expressed a longing for similar moments, noting, “Awww I wish I could snuggle with my mom like this,” “A mother’s LOVE!” and “So cute. Your kids will always remember the warmth of sleeping next to you. Your warmth. Mom’s warmth. It’s pure love.”

Milano is no stranger to offering glimpses of her family life on social media. In April 2023, she posted a similar photo showing her daughter asleep beside her, which she described as a cherished part of motherhood.

As a parent, the “Charmed” star embraces an open and honest approach style with her children, whom she shares with her husband, Dave Bugliari. Understanding the complexity of the world they’re growing up in, Milano believes in engaging her son and daughter in meaningful conversations about pressing societal issues from a young age.

Topics such as feminism, body image, and bullying are daily discussions in their household as she holds the conviction that transparency with her children is essential. “I am a big believer in telling them the truth and not hiding anything from them,” she said.
