[Photos] Time Magazine Knows How to Get Your Attention

Photographer Martin Schoeller recently shot this TIME Magazine cover on an extended method of motherhood. The featured cover shows an image of a young mom and her son, still breastfeeding at age 3. While there is no right or wrong time to stop breastfeeding, these images have stirred up quite the controversy on just that. This extended breastfeeding philosophy has been on the rise for the past two decades. There have been so many things said in regards to this issue and below are some quotes on the topic. What are your thoughts?

“I think that breastfeeding should be normalized in America. It’s normal everywhere else.”

“When this child’s classmates see this, they’re going to go out there and harass the kid.”

“I believe it’s the way that God intended our bodies to be, but it’s a personal thing. It’s not a spectator sport.”

“Gross. Just gross.”

“What happens when that kid is older and one of his friends throws that magazine down in front of him? He’s going to be mortified.”

“I have nothing against breastfeeding if the child is of proper age. She is just doing this for herself, not for the child.”

“That child is going to have problems in the future. It should not be allowed.”

“In this instance, the way this framed and done, I don’t think the breastfeeding is for the child here. The mother is using the child to make some political statement.”
