I agree with the writer. Nothing wrong with b/fing a 3 year old; but this cover is deliberately outrageous. They have deliberately selected a young, hot looking mama and a kid who looks older than his stated age in a less than usual pose. I guess you can put Time right there with all the other checkout tabloids that like to shock and make money.
You're right...the kid does look older than 3 years. But when you have a young and hot looking mama what do you get? Babies to breastfeed.
No problem with women breastfeeding in the public. Actually see them quite often. A few time they were sitting right next to me. I just pretend I didn't know what's going on and look away.
Lest anyone take that method of contraception seriously, I can give you a list of babies that were born while the moms were breastfeeding. It lessens the chances, but you can still ovulate at anytime.
No, very few doctors/nurses recommend past 6 months. There are some out there that recommend up to 9 but I think they are harder to come by. They shouldn't recommened ANYTHING though. They should advise their patients of ALL their options and give them support whatever their decisions.
Doctors do and should recommend extended breastfeeding. If they don't they are not following the guidelines listed below:
Quote:
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond.
That kid better pray that his future classmates from junior high on don't find out about this...or life will be hell for him.
Anywho, breastfeeding a 3 year old is weird.
Actually, your perception that its weird is whats really weird.
