Alicia Silverstone has sparked backlash after she revealed her divisive parenting techniques.
The actress, 43, who has previously caused controversy with her parenting methods, explained that she takes baths with her nine-year-old son, Bear.
Speaking to the New York Times, the Clueless star confessed that when she’s in the same house as the youngster, the pair enjoy a soak together.
“My son and I take baths together,” she said, “And when he’s not with me, I take a bath and that really feels nourishing and comforting.”

It’s not the first time the mum-of-one has shared her divisive parenting practices having previously released a book, The Kind Mama: A Simple Guide to Supercharged Fertility, a Radiant Pregnancy, a Sweeter Birth, and a Healthier, More Beautiful Beginning, where she shared her personal insights including her anti-vaccine beliefs.
During the book, Alicia claimed she has never given her little boy a “drop of medicine” in his life because he is protected by a vegan diet.
“Of course, he’s never been sick-sick – just feeling a little off from time to time, maybe with a stuffy nose – but then it passes,” she wrote.
“Because his body is a super-clean, healthy machine, it can defend itself against and flush out all the nasty stuff much more quickly than a baby whose diet isn’t as kind. He’s never had a drop of medicine.”
Elsewhere, she spoke about potty training, and revealed she thinks it’s better if children defecate outdoors.
“(They are) much more content leaving their business in the grass than having to sleep and eat accompanied by their own pee and poo,” she said.

She also gave a warning surrounding child vaccines, and claimed some of her friends’ youngster having been affected following the injections.
“While there has not been a conclusive study of the negative effects of such a rigorous one-size-fits-all, shoot-’em-up schedule, there is increasing anecdotal evidence from doctors who have gotten distressed phone calls from parents claiming their child was ‘never the same’ after receiving a vaccine.
“And I personally have friends whose babies were drastically affected in this way,” she concluded.
