    What's wrong with pumping the breast milk instead of having a 3 yr. old hanging off your breast.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    That's really besides the point, but as I understand it pumping is both painful and uncomfortable (let alone unnatural). It needs to be done, especially for the mom that works "off site," but why does a 3 or 4 year old need to be breast fed is the real question here. Method aside. And my guess is if this woman has no problem humiliating her 4 year old son on the cover of Time where his friends will be able to find it in years to come, she has no interest in having a mechanical device do the work.

    So far we just have a lot of gut reactions to this but why is this there a problem with this medically, scientifically, pyscologically speaking, etc? Anyone have any facts?

    It's hard to deny that a 4-year old sucking a boob is weird. I'd say to each her own.

    One problem is sometimes women who can't do it for as long as they tell them to are forced to feel guilty about it. Or people want to follow the guidelines and they basically starve their babies for lack of breast milk supply, which simply cannot be healthy. The guidelines of exclusive breast feeding for 6 months are extreme. They just are. It doesn't work for everybody.

    That's actually a fine debate to have. But, she didn't need to humiliate her son and make it about HER (which is where the debate really begins, I think) with this picture. Pure and simple, it's the race to the bottom for what used to be journalism. Print magazines are dead (Except those with exclusive deals with the Kardashians - which I guess is another race to the BOTTOM ;) ). When the magazines finally realize it, they may actually create themselves a better business model than child exploitation.

    This photo reminds me of the "strangeness" of men's obsession with breast and its origins.

    BAAAAM!! good call, as far as I can tell it's mostly a personal opinion deal because most of us and MAYBE ? espically the women can't imagine brest feeding a 6 year old and then seeing a picture on the cover of Time mag of a 1/2 topless gal with a 6 year old lip locked onto her brest and looking at the camara does take it to another level kinda.

    That rational article is from Fox. So, Biden, errr. I mean Obama will soon come out advocating for hot women to have 4 year olds sucking their tits on every magazine cover.

    (Disclaimer, so this doesn't get miscontrued - I am not making fun of the stance I am referring to - I am for gay marriages - the joke is meant to poke at the way our fearless leader was forced into his announcement then lauded as the first when an ex-VP had already come out advocating for the same 3 years prior. Carry on).

    Thanx for the disclamer. It came in handy because I would never had been able to connect the dots that correlated the Time Magazine cover about modern motherhood with President Obama.
    It reminded me of the time when Glenn Beck started out complaining about 'American Idol' and came to the conclusion that Obama was Hitler.
    Thanx again!

    The whole thing to me is about the mother
    The child does not need the food provided. The mother wants the ability to continue to nurture and feel close to the boy
    We had a friend who did this, fucking fruitcake she was. And it WAS all about her
    And no not a fruitcake for doing this, plenty of other stuff bought me to this thought. Women has scarred her kids

    i guess the foto wanna tell us that breast feeding is important..which its true..
    in a kinda shocking way with this foto..,cos the kid isnt new born.but its like 3 years old..still a little one..
    seems some times you need to do something extreme to show the meaning of something..
    is really kinda shocking foto,but very catchy for the reason was taken..
    but for me isnt the foto the important..breast feeding is the issue ...
    i support all mommies that do breast feeding to their babies....be a mommy is the most important and difficult job in the world..

    The only problem is as someone else mentioned above, this does more harm than good for that cause. This is not convincing anyone that doesn't want to, it's giving an easy, incorrect way out.

    Breast feeding from birth is so critical, and education on THAT is important (eg, my kids never get sick) and more doctors and facilities need to do a better job of that. This will just be the - "see? I dont want to be a loon!" - example that excuse makers love.

    And I can't wait for the first kiddie porn case where you hear the lawyer say his client was just doing breast feeding research and hold this up as exhibit A. Silly? Of course. Wanna bet me it won't happen? Of course not.

  • I think it's utterly selfish of any mother to fuck their child up like this. breastfeeding is a beautiful thing, yes, even in public. but when your child is done physically needing the breastmild for sustenance/development, you don't need to continue this so you can feel as if you are still needed. many mothers really miss breastfeeding. My wife did. she loved it. it was such a special moment between her and my daughters. but she knew when it was time. actually, our first daughter knew when it was time. she just stopped. she had to ween our second one, but it didn't take long.

    same with that co sleeping nonsense. kids need to know how to sleep on their own. parents need to knock boots now and again, and how the hell do you do that with kids in between you?

    More power to her if that's her way but why does this crap need to be on national magazine. Why can't people leave their private lives private?? Just another useless story to sell magazines and advertising. My wife was unable to breast feed our 3 girls and they are healthily and very well mannered. No need to be on the boob that long. Many ways to provide healthy food to your children. Seems to be a separation issue with the mom from my viewpoint.

    I think that is ffucked up. There is no reason to still be doing that for a six year old. Those two are gong to have boundary issues. I feel sorry for whoever that kid's future wife is going to be!

    But more than that, the photo is just pervy looking. The mom seem to be trying to look sexy and smug, and it makes it creepy. :? They should have done the photo differently if they really had to do it. But I think it's ridiculous to treat breastfeeding six year olds as though it's possibly a reasonable choice mothers might want to consider. I mean Jesus, kids are coddled too much as it is now..., this is way over the edge! Plus, that kid is going to be humiliated when he's older. There comes a time when sucking on your mom's tit becomes inappropriate and he is past that time.

    Three ... six... if a kid is old enough to have a discussion about drinking out of his mom's boob, he is too old IMHO. And being on this cover is just gong to be damaging for the kid.

    i dont really have an opinion about that..maybe some specialist knows better..
    i dont stay at the foto..i prefer to think the meaning..breast feeding..i support mommies doing it..
    as i said already the foto is atleast kinda shocking

    People keep making a point of saying they support breastfeeding... who doesn't??Smeone would have to be a real moron not to. I don't see that as the issue once kids are way too old for it.
