Time breastfeeding cover sparks controversy
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." Time's coverline for the May 21 issue asks, "Are You Mom Enough?"
The provocative 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?"
"The kid on the cover of this week's Time magazine is really going to hate middle school," Gavin Purcell observed.
"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."
"I would be way more impressed with Time if they put a mom on the cover in the typical age bracket of 'attachment parenting,'" Salon's Irin Carmon tweeted. "Not a 26-year-old."
Time managing editor Rick Stengel defended the decision for the cover.
"We used an image that represents the attachment of a mother and child," Stengel said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." MSNBC showed the cover but blurred the breast out during the broadcast. ABC's "The View" covered it up, too.
"I don't wince when I look at the picture," he continued. "I think it's provocative. I think it's a little whimsical. I think she represents an outlier of women who are breastfeeding beyond one year. The cover is meant to get your attention. It gets your attention. I think this is a legitimate debate. It's a debate lots and lots of women are having."
It's not the first time Time has put a breastfeeding mom on its cover. In 1999, the magazine's cover featured a woman breastfeeding her baby for a special report on the war in Kosovo. And Time has featured breasts on its cover before for stories related to breast cancer.
It's worth noting that the international cover of Time's May 21 issue does not feature a breastfeeding image--it's new French president Francois Holland.
Nonetheless, it's likely going to get Time magazine censored at some newsstands. New York's Hudson News has a history of covering up magazines in its window display that put scantily-clad women on their covers. In 2006, the Grand Central Terminal newsstand put sheets of paper over three consecutive issues of FHM.

She needs to grow some big naturals.

that might have been a shocking cover 20 years ago.

I'd suck on that teat.

True, but mothers of these kids create "bitch-boys"...I've seen some of these mothers in the stores, and the kids are 3-5 yrs old, still sitting in the baby part of the grocery carts, legs all dangling down...and they whine and act like babies...imagine that boy in kindergarten? And it's always the BOYS, never the girls...something is up with that...creating Oedipus Complexes, are we?
That three yr old has to share his mom's boobs with her whatever man she has, if she can keep one.

yeah, that's bullshit i reckon. all three of mine were breastfed. and the one of the more noticeable benefits of breastfeeding is a generally quiet and contented child..

You're talking about 2 separate issues. The issue I am talking about is people being offended by the cover because we live in a sexually repressed country. This is a separate issue than boys being attached to their mother into late childhood. People are going to be offended by the cover bc of the former, not the latter.

Show me evidence that late breast feeding leads to "bitch boys." You cant make a drastic statement like that without backing it up. There could be multiple reasons why they are still sitting in the baby parts of the crib.

Where I went to school there was a glass/head shop and this lady breast fed her kid and he was probably 3 or 4. Shit was creepy.

]Well, I can only go by what I've seen---boys 3-5 yrs old still in the front part of the shopping carts---and yes,she did breast feed the kid late...she was a foreigner, she had talked about this with the cashier This was her second kid. She lived in my parents neighborhood. The kid was always whining, carrying on. One time she had the kid in one of those carts with the cars on the front...the kid's legs were all dangling out, almost being run over. The older son was literally attached to his mother, like 6 yrs old. He whined and carried on, at the drop of a hat. They were known in the store, cahsiers would talk about them.
It's not necessarily the breast feeding, it's the over mothering aspect ( there is a wide range of that)---it creates severe "momma's boys", it's what black women have done to their sons.

Yeah, I remember I posted this awhile back.

haha, are you seriously making a blanket statement and basing your evidence on 1 or 2 children you have observed? lol Dont ever become a scientist. You would be laughed at. Sorry, to make a statement like that you need a lot more evidence to that. So if its not the breastfeeding, then what is it?

No, those aren't the only two. Quite a few I have observed, in stores, etc. But, you are quite true, I need more than anecdotal evidence As far as being scientist, hey as kid I wanted to be a paleontologist or a zoologist.
There is a HUGE, huge problem with "over mothering" and it's effects on boys, I went to a seminar from a psychologist about this, and it's affects on boys and men---I have noticed this with the men I deal with (criminals).

Not my kids, Not my Girls, just some broads i was fucking around with in my early 20's

Come on - the picture doesn't offend me, but breastfeeding your kid at 3 years old is just plain wrong. A full year is good, maybe a year and a half, but that is it. By age 3, they need to be able to eat by themselves, and more.
Come on - I just can imagine this 3 year old - Mommy, I need some milk - NOW!
Get over it -
-
i bet this fuckin kid can pass every game on his XBOX, knows his way inside and out of an Itouch yet cant get himself a glass of milk :-\
However there is always the exception
;D

the world health org says to do it past 2 years.

that puritanical blood runs deep in those parts. lol
-
Is that kid 4-5yrs old? Then WTF?!? Why is Time trying to be so provocative...I thought they were more news oriented instead of shock value.
Kid is too old for breastfeeding and too young too appreciate what's going on.

Hey Ron, what if you were having "sexy time" with the mom, and the kid busts in, and demands "his" milk? Do you put the foot down and jeopardize getting some cookie, or do you sit down with the kid for some "milk and cookies" ;D
