$10 says the European edition of this week's magazine is about an actual, important news story.

I wonder if she's breastfeeding him in public.

4 and still breast feeding is pushing things a tad... putting it on the cover is done merely to make a buzz for a dying print media industry.

my guess, is that she is doing it at a photo shoot for an article in Time Magazine about mothering and The Baby Book

See the skinny body you can have if you breastfeed for 4 years?

Not to derail this thread, but I don't completely buy this. Shrinking, sure, but there will always be a place for print media. People like having physical copies of things and always will; for the foreseeable future, at least

But back on topic, I have no research to base this off, but it seems to me that breastfeeding for that long would lead to offspring with independence issues.

I've got no problem with the cover photo though. If it makes people uncomfortable, good; People need to be made to feel uncomfortable sometimes

perhaps a few flash mobs could educate the public

I have nothing against breastfeeding even in public but personally I won't be breastfeeding a kid that is old enough to hold his own cup and use silverware.

I have a friend who is a first grade teacher and has a kid in her class that is still being breastfed. The Mom picks the girl up at lunch and breastfeeds her in her van in the parking lot. This has completely alienated the child from the other kids and the woman went berserk when my friend mentioned it to her.

this issue will do very well, just in time for Mother's Day



Poll: What Do You Think of TIME‘s Breastfeeding Cover? – Moms & Babies – Moms & Babies - People.com

so the same company owns both Time and People, but still this will drive interest and sales

Didn't realize these were shot by Martin Schoeller. Some of you might be familiar with his Close Up series. Awesome photographer

The whole thing reminds me of a Louis CK bit. He knew it was time to stop wiping his daughter's bum for her the day she very eloquently said "Thank you, Daddy"

That is all kinds of fucked up.

Even Lucille had stopped breastfeeding Buster at that age.

Why can't she just pump and send the girl to school with a thermos?

That's what I was thinking...Just in general, why are they still breast-FEEDING? I may not understand the process well enough (my mother couldn't breast-feed so I've never really been around it), but once they get to an age where they're that big and can feed themselves, couldn't they just pump?
