Have You Seen the Attention-Grabbing New TIME Cover?

Time magazine is out with its latest cover, one that’s sure to get its fair share of attention. Headlined “Are You Mom Enough?”, it features a blonde, skinny jean-wearing woman — and a preschool-age boy unmistakably latched on to her breast:

The cover goes with the magazine’s feature story on “attachment parenting” — a philosophy designed to foster a secure bond to the child. Co-sleeping, or the “family bed,” and breastfeeding well past babyhood are sometimes the hallmarks of attachment parenting.

The mother pictured on the cover is Jamie Lynne Grumet of Los Angeles and her 3-year-old son.

“I don’t consider breastfeeding immodest at all—I’m not shy about doing it in public,” she told Time.

Sounds like a weak parent.

Ok. Let's say a 40 year old with the mentality of a 3 year old poses that way. In public he would be arrested, and in a photo it would be disgusting. Remember that "Time" is a liberal Democrat publication and has been for years. I just cancelled my subscription!

A 3 yr old still breast feeding is just gross and something that happens in 3rd world countries where food is scarce.

She's from LA. Go figure. Where people aren't smart enough to know when to stop breastfeeding.

Our "American" culture doesn't allow for such a thing because we have sexualized breasts to a ridiculous degree. Think for a minute, why do women have breasts in the first place? I venture to say that the scientific reason wasn't so that men could ogle/touch them. As a mom who had to quit breastfeeding simply because of work constraints in a culture where even though the law is supposed to support pumping/feeding breaks, I disagree with the disgust over this picture.

I am not against breast feeding. They say it is better for the child. What I want to know is when a child can eat on their own is there a benefit to continue to breast feed? If it's for nutritional reasons wouldn't the child be able to get the same nutrition from food as from breast milk?

I am a women who feels, breast feeding in public is disgusting. And, all these magazines who have photos of nude pregnant women; that too is disgusting. It's almost like someone blowing their nose at their dinner table in the restaurant while others eat their meal. Afterwards, the noseblower began to eat their dessert w/o washing their hands.
