Frederick Heschel Bialik Stone Was Breastfed for over 3 Years - Facts about Mayim Bialik's Son

Despite being an actress, game show host, and author, Mayim Bialik is still an ever-present mom. She takes parenting seriously, leaving many wondering how her kids are doing, including Frederick Heschel Bialik Stone, her youngest son, who was breastfed for over three years.

Most times, the life of a celebrity falls under scrutiny as the eagle-eyed public, both fans and critics, yearn to know about them.

While some do not have a problem with that, others choose to separate their public life from their private. For Mayim Bialik, sharing little details about her life has been the way to go.

Interestingly, her youngest child, Frederick Heschel Bialik Stone, prefers a private life, despite her popularity.

Frederick is a 14-year-old, and his personal life is locked away from the public. He does not share any information and what is known about him is because of his actress mother— let's look at these undiluted truths about Mayim's low-profile son.

Birth of Frederick Heschel

Frederick was born weighing 7 lbs, 15 oz, and 20 ¼ inches long. He joined his father, mother, and brother on August 15, 2008, at precisely 8:32 a.m. A few months later, the second-time mom shared her delightful birth story with CBB.

Amid their differences, Frederick's parents teamed up to co-parent their sons. However, regarding sharing facts about their kids, the former couple remains tight-lipped; they are also in sync with raising their sons.

Frederick's mom revealed that her labor was seamless, yet it was not the regular birthing process. First, her water did not break, meaning he was born "in the caul (amniotic sac)."

Again, her delivery was at home, following one-and-a-half labor. It was a natural procedure, and she did not need help until the final pushing stage.

Everyone watched Frederick's arrival, from his dad to his older brother, Miles, who was a toddler at the time. Mayim noted, "Our 3-year-old, Miles, watched the whole thing from his highchair while eating granola!"

It did not take long before Miles adjusted to being a big brother—at 3, he remained home with his parents and did not attend preschool. According to Frederick's mom, she took time to select a suitable name for her second son, as she said:

"His first name is for my grandpa, and his middle name is for Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma. In Hebrew, Ephraim Hirsch."

Despite sharing her birth experience and the information behind Frederick's name, Mayim is protective of the teenager. The 14-year-old is rarely seen in public, and whenever his photo is updated, fans are only privy to a back view.

Frederick Was Breastfed for More than 3 Years

It took about three years before Frederick was weaned entirely. His mother was in love with the breastfeeding process that went on for years.

In 2011, Mayim shared her story with a blog post. According to her, Frederick was fed on a strict breastmilk diet without water or supplement for a year and was only introduced to solid food at 18 months old. She revealed:

"I loved nursing Fred. Around 2 ½ years old, though (about 6 months ago), I started wanting a little bit less of loving nursing Fred."

It did not matter whether she had a busy schedule; she was immersed in the process and went on to defend her choice. Frederick's mom wrote:

"I never ever believed that I would be nursing a child over the age of 3. But now that I am, I believe when he is done, he will be done… I believe that nursing is natural and beautiful and wonderful…there is nothing wrong with nursing Fred."

Parents of Frederick

Frederick's parents, Mayim and Michael Stone married in 2003. Two years later, they became first-time parents and, in 2008, welcomed their youngest son.

However, after nearly ten years of marriage, the couple confirmed they were divorcing. They cited irreconcilable differences, and Mayim confessed that divorce "is terribly sad, painful, and incomprehensible for children. It is not something we have decided lightly."

Amid their differences, Frederick's parents teamed up to co-parent their sons. However, regarding sharing facts about their kids, the former couple remains tight-lipped; they are also in sync with raising their sons.

The boys live with their mom, but they often visit their dad. Although the movement between two houses may seem strenuous, for these two, "it's actually been a really beautiful opportunity for us to also see where we don't align."

Mayim Bialik is also grateful to her ex-husband for his understanding, input, and peaceful co-parenting experience.

Frederick Has an Older Brother

The age difference between Miles Bialik Stone and Frederick is about three years. Miles was born in 2005. Their mother was juggling her acting career and studying for her Ph.D. in neuroscience at the time.

Although nothing is known about Frederick's plans, possible career choice, school, or hobbies, one thing is sure; he has stayed out of trouble while avoiding the spotlight and welcomes his mother's way of protecting him and their family.
