NL- Wow! I’m all for breast feeding, even in public. But this three year old looks more like a seven year old, and that picture is more provocative than nurturing. Shocking to see in the grocery store I am sure. And over the top in my opinion. What do you think?
This week’s Time magazine cover features Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26-year-old woman breastfeeding her three-year-old son. Grumet was one of four mothers photographed by Time for a cover story on "attachment parenting," an approach–outlined by 1992’s "The Baby Book" by Dr. Bill Sears–that recommends extended breast-feeding, co-sleeping and "baby wearing."
The provoctive cover, published online Thursday, was met with the predictable Twitter jaw-drop.
"Love the Time cover," AllThingsD.com’s Peter Kafka wrote. "In the cringiest way possible."
"Anybody else slightly slack-jawed over this week’s Time cover?" The Atlantic Wire’s Adam Clark Estes rhetorically asked.
"Breastfeeding your 3-year-old is one thing," the Daily News’ Bill Hammond wrote. "But putting a picture of him doing it on the cover of Time?"
"Heads up, parents!" John Cannon warned. "If you’re planning to take your kids grocery shopping, you will have to explain this Time mag cover."
Oh, my! Can we say “Kiddie Porn” alert?
Well, I just did .
So is it OK for TIME to do stuff that anybody in San Fernando would be executed for??
That kid looks to be too old to be sucking on his mom’s tit. It seems all the growth hormones they put in food and milk these days have us returning to the biblical days of giants. This is definitely very disturbing looking, and I, too am all for breastfeeding in public, for babies not little boys.
Seriously, WTF is this? This ain’t no oblivious little baby in ga ga land! This kid is completely cognizant of the camera he’s looking right into, as per the photographer’s instructions (probably saying to himself “Why the fuck am I doing this?”). That kid even seems to have a gut. He’s standing on a chair. This ain’t no baby. This kid is going to have a life-long breast fetish. This kid is gonna start asking in restaurants how fresh the milk is. This kid is overfucking grown. It’s TIME for mom to stop breast-feeding her son, unless she wants to jerk him off, too. I wonder if he gets wood while he’s feeding.
Apparently there are some doctors that say breast feeding til the kid is 3-5 is ok. Most moms stop after a few months because the kid starts to get teeth and bite.
The kids brain develop’s last and continuing to get mom’s milk to help the baby/toddler’s brain develop.
Jeremy is correct. This should land some executives at Time Warner in prison. If someone from Porn Valley did this they would put in a 5150 ward at Pelican Bay and the key would be lost. When the propaganda media does it it is called art.
And I bet Daddy gets shit for jerking off to old Traci Lords pornos.
