Alyssa Milano is "actively trying" for another baby.
The 41-year-old actress gave birth to son Milo in August 2011, but she and husband David Bugliari are keen to give the tot a little brother or sister sooner rather than later.
Speaking to Access Hollywood Live, she said: "We are actively trying."
She added jokingly: "[David's] just chugging down ginseng [a herbal remedy believed to increase sex drive and improve erectile function in men]."
However, the 'Mistresses' star recently admitted she was finding it hard shedding the baby weight from her first pregnancy and still wanted to lose another 10 pounds.
She said earlier this week: "I gained 55 pounds when I was pregnant, I still have 10 more to lose."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty - who shot to fame on 'Who's the Boss' when she was 11 years old - was forced to defend her figure last month after being insulted by 'Suburgatory' star Jay Mohr during a radio interview.
He said: "It seems like she had a baby and said, 'I don't really give a s**t'.... I read it on her gut."
Alyssa challenged him on Twitter after hearing the rude remarks on Christmas Day (25.12.13), before accepting his apology last week.

Jamie Chung wants her wedding guests to go on a hike.
The 'Hangover' star got engaged to Bryan Greenberg at the end of last year, and is already considering ways she can incorporate her active lifestyle and passion for sport into her big day.
She said: "We love working out. We love the outdoors. So we want to incorporate that - maybe make it a weekend and have all the guests go on a hike. Or there's a crazy obstacle course at this one location. We literally have to do something every day in terms of something physical."
The brunette beauty - who started dating her beau in 2012 - has been eyeing up venues for the nuptials and, although she's yet to finalise a location, she's keen to tie the knot in a woodland.
She explained to People magazine: "We want to do it somewhere in the woods. We're looking at some locations in California - we just don't know where it's going to be yet. It's going to be a fun wedding."
Meanwhile, Jamie, 30, and Bryan, 35, are yet to set a date for their wedding, but have their hearts set on becoming husband and wife next year and are already considering preparations in order to reduce the stress load nearer the time.
When asked if she's set a date for the nuptials, she said: "Oh, I don't know ... maybe fall 2015.
"I think it really is stress-induced in terms of planning a wedding, but we've kind of initiated the conversation. I think the sooner you start, the less stressed out you're going to be."

'The Michael J. Fox Show' has been cancelled after just 15 episodes.
The 'Back to the Future' actor's self-titled sitcom has lost its prime time Thursday night slot in favour of 'Hollywood Game Night' - a game show presented by Jane Lynch - after network NBC decided to pull the plug because of poor ratings.
Entertainment Weekly confirmed the news on Wednesday night (05.02.14) and with only 15 out the 22 episodes of the show having been aired so far, it's still unclear whether the remaining instalments will be broadcast at all.
The reports come after NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt described 'The Michael J. Fox Show' as a "uphill battle" at the Television Critics Association press tour last month, admitting he wasn't happy with its dismal ratings.
Despite the show's failure to pull in audiences, the series was honoured, along with five others, with the Critics' Choice Television Award for Most Exciting New Series in June last year.
The series marked a highly anticipated return to television for Fox, who hadn't had a leading role in a sitcom since his five-year stint in 'Spin City' came to an end in 2000 as his battle with Parkinson's disease - which he was diagnosed with in 1991 - worsened.
The actor - who set up the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help find a cure for the degenerative condition - had only made several minor guest appearances on TV shows, including 'Rescue Me', 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'The Good Wife', before 'The Michael J. Fox Show' was commissioned.

Abbie Cornish wanted to appear in 'RoboCop' because it reminded her of her childhood.
The blonde beauty was a big fan of the 1987 original movie - which starred Peter Weller in the lead role - so jumped at the chance to work with director José Padilha and actors Gary Oldman and Joel Kinnaman.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I was attracted to the film because it was part of my childhood, also I wanted to work with Jose and Gary Oldman...
"It was a role I took because of the director and the actors, I didn't read a script when I took this role on I just took it because I had a good feeling about it."
The 31-year-old actress admits she felt she had "got lucky" landing the role of cyborg cop Alex Murphy's wife Clara because she had such a great time on set.
Speaking at the world premiere of the film at London's BFI IMAX South Bank last night (05.02.14), she said: "I would literally turn up in Toronto, I'd fly back and they'd be like you're not leaving on Wednesday you're leaving on Friday. I'd say, 'Why.' And they'd be like, 'Because you have a scene with Gary Oldman.' I'd be speechless, and thinking, 'I have a scene with Gary Oldman!' I felt like I got lucky constantly shooting this film."
Abbie thinks the time was right to reboot the franchise because of developments in technology, and she believes the new movie has more of a "heartbeat" because of the introduction of Alex's family.
She said: "First of all from 1987 to 2014, the changes in technology alone and what you can do with CGI is insane. I think it's more timely now, it's more relevant, it's more tangible, and I think that's what's good about bringing the family into it, it gives it a bit more of a heartbeat, it gives the film a pulse as well as the man versus machine story and the existential element of the story.
"It's a movie about technology and advancements in a military world, it's about a man's battle for his soul, what it is to be human."
Abbie was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Gary and Joel Kinnaman - who plays the lead role of Alex Murphy - and her director José.

Justin Bieber's private jet was so thick with marijuana smoke, the pilots had to wear oxygen masks.
The 'Believe' singer, his father Jeremy Bieber and an entourage of 10 flew from Canada to New Jersey last Friday (31.01.14) and ignored warnings to stop smoking the narcotic, with flight staff forced to take drastic action as inhaling the smoke would have led to them failing drug tests, NBC News reports.
The official incident report said: "The captain of the flight stated that he warned the passengers, including Bieber, on several occasions to stop smoking marijuana."
And the 19-year-old singer and his dad were "extremely abusive" to the flight attendant, prompting her to take refuge in the cockpit.
The report continued: "The captain also stated he needed to request that the passengers stop their harassing behaviour toward the flight attendant and after several warnings asked the flight attendant to stay with him near the cockpit to avoid any further abuse.
"The flight attendant stated the passengers, including Bieber and his father, Jeremy Bieber were extremely abusive verbally and she would not work another flight with them."
When the plane landed, it was met by police and Customs and Border Protection agents, and though the aircraft "reeked" of marijuana smoke, no drugs were found inside the cabin, or in baggage, despite sniffer dogs alerting officers to three of the suitcases on board.
The troubled singer was questioned separately because "in past examinations, Bieber had become argumentative and abusive when together with his security team."
He admitted smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol, but stated that he did not have any additional marijuana.
According to website TMZ, Justin knew the plane would be searched before it even took off because he is on a Homeland Security watch list following his two recent arrests for assault and driving without a valid license, driving under the influence (DUI) and resisting arrest.

David Beckham has launched a Major League Soccer club in Miami.
The 38-year-old star - who retired from the sport in May 2013 - said he was "living the dream" as he announced plans to recruit some of the "best players" alongside local sportsmen to help make the club "loved by millions".
Speaking at a press conference to unveil the new franchise, he said: "Players are already interested into coming and playing - who wouldn't? Great players will come here.
"We have a list of players (we want). Everyone knows who they want. These players are calling me up and sending me messages.
"It would be disrespectful for me as an owner to speculate, but we want the best. But I want to build an established academy and local players who want to reach the top."
David's move into the franchise is expected to cost him $25 million, but he has vowed to turn Miami into "The People's Football Club."
It is believed the hunk's option to purchase a franchise at a discounted price came as part of a package when he joined Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy in 2007.
He said: "This is an exciting time for myself, family and friends. We're really looking forward to bringing this to Miami.
"There was a team here 10 years ago but going forward I wanted to create a team that's very personal. I want to make it my own team.
"Miami is a vibrant city with a lot of passion. I know it's ready for football and this will be successful.
"I'm committed to this league and I'm committed to this sport."
David - who has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and Harper, two, with wife Victoria - is reportedly hoping to build a 25,000 seat stadium on the Miami waterfront and, if they manage to get funding, the squad could possible take part in the 2017-18 season.

Niall Horan is using "self-help books" to combat claustrophobia and panic attacks.
The One Direction hunk suffered a panic attack in December after getting stuck in a lift with young fans in a hotel in Milan and wants to take the right precautions to make sure this sort of incident does not reoccur.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Niall really wants to conquer this problem once and for all. He's essentially practising amateur psychology at the moment and is getting through three books a week.
"The self-help books are teaching him how to manage crowds with various coping techniques.
"He has stacks of them by his bed and they're really making a difference to his state of mind."
Niall was shocked following the mishap in December and even after he was out of the lift he claimed his heart was "still thumping".
He wrote on Twitter: ''Eight of us got stuck in a tiny lift. Claustrophobia is a terrible thing, and people telling you to calm down is worse. I was freaking out. My heart is still thumping.''
The 'Story of My Life' hitmaker has opened up about his claustrophobia in the past, particularly if he's surrounded by over-eager fans.
He has admitted: ''I do get a bit scared sometimes - when we're in the tour bus, fans start climbing all over it and smacking on the windows, trying to get in.
''They start chasing after us, screaming. I'm claustrophobic and I don't like everyone crowding around and shouting questions. I get a bit scared.''

Lily Allen is the first celebrity to land an endorsement deal with Cornetto.
The 28-year-old singer mentioned the ice cream brand on Twitter last July, surprised at how few calories the tasty treat contains.
She wrote: "Is it true there's only 190 calories in a Cornetto? #cornettodiet.(sic)"
Although the message was simply "a bit of fun" she is now expected to earn a six-figure sum while she works with Cornetto on their forthcoming advert.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lily only Tweeted about the ice cream for a bit of fun - she never anticipated it would turn into a huge endorsement deal.
"The new advert is a love story and Lily plays a doctor. It's all good fun."
Lily - who has daughters Ethel, two, and 11-month-old Marnie with her husband Sam Cooper - previously admitted she used to starve herself before photo shoots but has conquered any insecurities she may have had about her figure and now embraces her body for what it is.
She said: "I felt quite brave shooting the 'Hard out Here' video. In all my past videos and photo shoots I've starved myself for days to get into what I felt was a good enough shape. But in this one, I was wearing leggings!
"And a skin-tight T-shirt and a bra over the top - you can see the bulge! It wasn't necessarily pretty, but I felt very strongly that I wanted to do that. Because I'm a woman now, and I have two babies, and I don't want to hide it."

Matthew McConaughey consulted three doctors about HIV in his teens.
The 44-year-old actor - who plays AIDS sufferer Ron Woodroof in 'Dallas Buyers Club' - admits he was so concerned about the rise in the sexually-transmitted infection while he was growing up in the 1980s that he sought advice from a number of different health professionals.
He said: "I remember in 1988 I was a senior in college and as a heterosexual young man becoming sexually active I remembered getting worried and what I clearly remember is talking to three different doctors and saying, 'Give me some science on this. 'I'm a heterosexual man and I'm having . . . I'm not being too loose but give me some percentages, give me something . . . ' and they had three completely different answers about what the risks were so I came away from that being more scared.
"I remember thinking, well, I'm gonna go with the guy who said be the most cautious. But nobody knew at the time, the doctors didn't know."
The hunky star - who has children Levi, five, Vida, four, and Livingston, 17 months, with wife Camila Alves - also admits he was keen to steer away from making his role too soppy because that wasn't the aim of the movie.
He explained to RTÉ Ten : "This story hasn't been done this way, it hasn't been approached this way. This story couldn't have gone to sentiment especially in the third act but it would have been untrue to the man Ron Woodroof ... This is not a message movie. The message comes out of following this guy's life."
