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:
Image source: Time
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.
Time subscribers can read the full story here; other (non-subscriber) material is available here.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 2:35pmReality is that the AVERAGE AGE to stop breastfeeding world wide is over 4 years old. This woman is breastfeeding a 3 year old. Sure, she is out of the American social norm. You know, the culture that told women for a century that breast milk wasn’t as good for their children as commercially made formula and the one that thinks that it is completely fine to wash floor burger with ammonia before adding it back into the good ground beef. Or maybe you prefer the same culture that allows its physicians to inject newborn children with mercury and force them to drink fluoridated water.
The only shocking thing here is that they put this image on a national publication and that is only shocking because apparently grown adults cannot fathom having any type of side boob nudity in an open forum even though their children routinely see more skin from their teachers.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 4:41pmHer breasts are to small to contain milk for a child nursing as much as a “4” year old. He other breast would be leaking when the milk drops from stimulus of the nipple. The picture is fake and in violation of US child pornography laws. She is not really breast feeding but attempting with the help of TIME to sexually stimulate the observer and sell magazines. I hope Romney’s attorney general goes after Time when he takes office next January.

We are entering into an “all out” everything goes era. If gay marriage is OK then what is next? What will be the next thing society needs to embrace? There are plenty of nudest colonies around the country, shouldn’t they be allowed to do what is all natural in public, I mean common on people, if anything, public nudity should be OK because its only because we are told its shameful. Did not God ask why they had covered themselves up? Could this be the next thing to get BHO approval?

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 7:33pmThis is so ridiculous..and i don’t mean the picture. Breastfeeding your child when they are a toddler doesn’t make them into liberals or OWS or crazies. Just because it seems different to you or isn‘t your cup of tea doesn’t make it something that only liberals do or something that is wrong or gross. It is perfectly normal and healthy and should be continued as long as the child and parent want to. I’m a good Christian mother. I’m raising my children with conservative values, and they will not be asking for handouts or joining the OWS crowd. But I nurse them as long as they want to nurse. I’m currently nursing my son (8 months old) and guess what…we are planning on having several more children so he will probably end up seeing my breast (I don’t nurse with a cover at home). If we make bodies and sexuality gross, taboo, and embarrassing for our children then they will go and ask someone else about it. I’d much rather have my son be comfortable with the real purpose of a boob, than have it be over-sexualized and embarrassing for him.

Breast-feeding is God’s way of feeding baby humans and any woman that can abide it ought to.
The problem isn’t breast-feeding, it’s the lack of modesty. Use a little discretion is all I ask.
I know there are times when a baby wants to feed and there is nothing you can do except to accommodate them, but those situations are few.
As far as being on the cover of magazine, unless it is wrapped in brown paper, I say it is WAY over the top.

Posted on May 21, 2012 at 4:37pm@SGTB, et al. – while the avg age to end breast feeding in much of the world is 4 – 5, that is because of the unavailability of nourishing food in most of the world. breast milk woul not provide enough nourishment to allow this child to be this size @ 3. he is also eating a regular diet of solid foods. when an American mother is breast feeding a child of this age & size in the US, it’s generally to comfort the child or to make a statement or both. I have absolutely no problem w/ comforting a child & know several mothers who beast feed their 3 yr olds. they would allow anyone to take photos, each having a well developed sense of propriety & modesty plus, they wouldn’t do this to their children. a photo @ 3 is viewed w/ horror by an older child, particularly a boy. this is way over the top & both the mother & Time fail to exercise adequate consideration of this child’s ongoing development & needs.

I do not think that it is necessary to breastfeed children past the age of one anymore, at least in America and other civilized countries because of the availability of other nutritious substances that we can ween our children to, but it used to be this way even in our coutry. It still is the way of life in some African and south American tribes that do not have access to the grocery stores that we have. Does it need to be on showcase? Probably not. But my original point still stands; it is not child pornography.

It may be the most natural thing to do in life and a great thing to do for your children, I myself breastfed my children and I have no problem with it. BUT this child is now on the cover of TIME for the rest of his life, it’s out there in the public for all to see, how do you think this child will feel when he’s 15, 16 , 17….. years old and someone decides to pull it out and show everyone in his school. Dont’ think that will happen? You don’t understand how a teenagers mind works then. This mother is setting up her child to be bullied if this picture and story is showed in the next 5 to 15 years from now! My brother is still mortified over the picture that was taken of him in a dress when he was 5 years old and his ex wife got ahold of and blew it up to poster size!! Don‘t think this was a good thing for the child because it wasn’t! I don’t have a problem with him still being breastfed just not on the cover of TIME!! Now thats DEGRADING!!!

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 2:14pmActually research has shown that children that are “attachment raised” have significantly less attachment issues and are considered much more independent and socially adjusted. They have built that relationship with their parents early in life and know that they will always be there and so they don’t have to work through those issues as an older child or teenager!

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 2:48pmMany kids breastfeed into toddlerhood. One of my sons was that big when he was three. He looked like he was five. He was always getting the evil eye from other parents in public becuase he looked two years older than he acted.
If you read my other posts you can see I don’t like the cover either. I just don’t like people posting here calling breasfeeding a toddler creepy, weird, porno, sick, etc. It is normal to breastfeed a toddler. Many many women do it. But they don’t put it on the cover a magazine after allowing the photographer put the kid on a chair to make him look bigger, and maybe even a bit of photo shoppign to make him look bigger.
So, to put it simply..breastfeeding good, picture bad.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 11:31amPeople keep thinking “why is this allowed?” — and I want to point out that THAT is the attitude that’s gotten this country in trouble. Think carefully about the concept “allowed” — it’s got 2 sides, a doer and an allower. If something reprehensible is happening, our first impulse is to DIS-ALLOW, to force “them” to stop doing what offends us (for good reasons!). But that very impulse is what is driving them to force us to behave differently than our conscience indicates! We have to learn that each individual person must have within (invisible to others) an “allower” that says “no, that’s not a good idea” — and which inside them comes up with a better way to do it. My “allower” can’t govern your behavior — it’s just not capable of that stretch.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 11:32am“Attachment Parenting” is dangerous to the family. It puts the child between the parents. My sister is in to this. She nurses until well after 3, she “wears” her toddler in a sling on her back or front and co-sleeps with her toddler. And guess what, her husband sleeps in another room! If the child is constantly “attached” to the mother, where does Dad fit in? Another family I know practiced this and when their son was 2 1/2 they had another child. The 2 1/2 year old became a psycho! Violent, lashing out, harming other children. Why? He could not cope without constantly being “attached” to his mother and now there was competition. The mother was “attachment parenting” the new baby and there is only room for one child/person in mom’s life when you use this style of parenting.
Report Post »AxelPhantom
Posted on May 10, 2012 at 1:41pmThey used to call this oedipal complex. Under this theory, an un-natural attachment to the parent of the opposite sex ends when the child recognizes the superiority of the opposite sex parent.
Attachment theory slows and negates that process by allowing a child to share the marital bed and over-physical touching of the parents. The child is treated as an “equal” to the parent and thus never recognizes them as authority/superior.
In the end, it leads to self-loathing of gender (emasculated women and de-masculinized men) and the “entitlement” mindset where the child is entitled to at least as much as the parents simply because he/she is their “equal” in the micro-society of the family, without having done anything to earn that position.

It wasn’t done to be mean, just to wake some parents up. Forgive the following rant.
I never could quite understand the willingness of parents to swallow up a book written by an “expert” that sticks their child, (who the author has never met) into a collective boilerplate model from birth; “Ten easy steps to raising a child”……usually based on an inconsequential sample of 1,000 or less children who were “messed up” for various reasons to begin with.
I have never been a fan of “method parenting” it is a creation mostly by liberal psychologists (the mental sciences are infested with them) to foist disguised political agendas upon nervous young parents and innocent children.
Have the progressives taught you that you are so inept as a parent that you need a set of instructions, of course written by them?
They have turned parents into nervous ninnies that if they don’t follow their recommendations, that their child will somehow be denied the “leg up” on the competition and will fail in life.
Parents! Put down the instruction manuals and pop science “articles” and raise children as the individuals they are, with your honor, courage and love. How exactly? That is your responsibility to figure it out.

Excerpt:

Thus, it is of the utmost importance that psychopolitical operative infiltrate the healing arts of a nation marked for conquest, and bring that quarter continuous pressure against the population and the government until at last the conquest is affected.
