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.”
I’m a proud supporter of breastfeeding and doing what you feel is best as a mother… but I do NOT think that child is 3. He’s like 8.
Discuss Mom{e}’s! What do you think of Time’s cover? Is it just an attempt to sell more magazines or is it a step in the right direction for breastfeeding moms everywhere and acceptance of this nurturing practice?
