Did Time magazine go too far?

[BDBoop]

Three is too old to be breast feeding a child in you live in the USA. The kid can use a cup, why not pump instead of breast feed if you want the kid to continue to get the benefits of breast feeding. Something wrong there with the Mom not Time.

I think it's a bonding thing.

If you live in the US ???

I don't oppose breast feeding. I do oppose mental health issues of mothers who don't have the mental wellness to wean a child off breast feeding as soon as possible. I don't know if this is part of the sickness our country is facing with governmental dependency translating over to mothers, but a five year old child should be eating a diet that does no consist of breast milk; or even formula. By five years of age, a child should be eating sliced apples, pealed oranges (or unpeeled if your into teaching moments), pears, carrots, Broccoli (yeah, yeah...you can try), potatoes, peas (again you can try) and other fruits and vegetables.

Breast feeding a child that lone will develop serious dependency issues as well as harm them in fomenting an 'independent' mindset necessary to survive in the world.

Time is just a magazine. Supporting what this represents is a serious mental health problem.

Sorry, that's where the picture of the cover is.

It's inappropriate to show Rdean on the cover of any magazine

Time puts tits on the cover to sell copies. That's all.

Don't think so? You think they actually care about "issues"?
Just observe how many stories about Breast Cancer get aired during November sweeps.

Still not the point. Do you feel they went too far.

Child porn anyone?

I seriously doubt that is the child's only source of sustenance. Having said that, I still don't know how I feel about somebody approaching school age, still being on the teat.

If my SIL had been able to get her baby to take the breast...... he would still be attached to it now. He just turned 12.

here is a jab at men.

Sorry guys but a I can not resist.

You will never breastfeed.

It is awesome.

The hormone high you get ( nature invented it to make sure Moms fed their kids when the kid wanted to) is the most awesome feeling in the world.

Sorry but us chicks do get some perks

yep... i agree. This mother is doing it for....herself.

No i don't think they went to far..... In my opinion...i do think these mothers are going to far.

I'm fine with it, I'm cool with breastfeeding.

Do you think there should be any logical age where the child is too old, or is that strictly up to the mom?

In my opinion. When they have teeth... they are old enough to be weened off of the breast.

I'm a little shocked. I was thinking it would be an infant. Not a young boy that can say "show me your tit".

 

[Provocateur]

Why?

3 years old? That's too old to be breast feeding. Mom has issues, and kid will have major issues in the future.

Well, if he wasn't going to before, he probably will now that he's been on a national magazine cover.

Yeah that's what I ment to say. In poorer countries children breastfeed longer.

 

[strollingbones]

Turns 4 next month but when is too long?

That should be up to the parent and child. But my own opinion is that I wouldn't breastfeed past 3.

I don't like the cover. Not because it shows a child breastfeeding, but the photo combined with such an insulting headline is intended solely for shock value and to imply that those who don't go this route are somehow lacking in their parenting skills. It's been hard enough to get breastfeeding accepted as natural, people still have a problem with moms feeding their babies in public, expecting them to retreat into dirty bathrooms and remain out of sight. Another issue I have with the photo is that it shows no bonding between mother and child. It's cold and arrogant.

doesn't nature know best about these things? If she is still producing milk then nature has spoken!

suckling cause the milk production and the 'let down' reflex

the photographer had the child stand in a chair for the 'shock' value

What happens when he is 18 and still is not "ready" to leave the breast? How about 35?

 

[amrchaos]

I am still waiting for the mom with the jackass teenager to say "What? Are you hungry? Do I need to go back to breast feeding you again?"

Still waiting for that that one and only slap down a female can give!

But I guess women are just not that vicious with their kids, huh?

Uhmmm--I am not ready to leave breasts!

And I need a "big hot momma" to suckle me with her sweet sweet luv!
(I wonder would this make a good R&B song? "Don't ween me off, momma!"

What do women experience when they get a "Hormone High"

A Testerone kick is either excessive horniest or the desire to bash the nearest guy head in.


You women get those too, I heard.

(By the way--This is not child porn. This is MILF porn. And there is never enough MILF PORN, IMHO)
