Posted by: COMEDYMAN May 11 2012, 09:18 AM
Ok Time's cover has stirred up a hornet's nest. ( must be some other effed up stuff going on for the Government to order up this diversion...but i digress. ) The mom in the pic here breast feeding her 3 year old. I know there are a tonna mommies on here and I would like to know what's your take on it.
When do you or did you stop breast feeding? What about in public?
Lemme know 
And I kinda understand why the kid is 3 and still feeding. He must starved to death as a baby with her next to nothing boobs

Surprisingly, the size of the breasts doesn't have a direct correlation with milk output!

The issue really has less to do with breastfeeding per se and more to do with parenting. Personally I tend to think that fostering independence your children as soon as reasonably possible is important. That goes against breastfeeding that long. I'm all for breastfeeding rather than a bottle though. I mean would she be giving the kid a bottle if still if she were somehow still unable to breastfeed?

I discussed this with two people, and their responses were not only exactly what I thought, but pretty damn funny as well.
One was like the first comment:
"I breast fed all three of my children. I weaned them at age one. I realized that was a good age when my daughter almost bit my nipple off. I wasn't 'mom enough' to keep going. However in my defense I am emotionally attached to my nipples. I've had them longer than the kids."
And the other:
"It's just a little odd for me if the kid can ask you for it with complete words and sentences :-/"
or
"I know I'd have issue if I had to have a debate with my son over who's time it was with said body part.... "

I saw this hit the headlines and read just about all of the comments in the major news websites. I observed quite an interesting trend, it seems only in America, some moms were disturbed by this or very put out. While a good majority of American moms were completely supportive of this, saw nothing wrong and said more or less that the kid usually gets tired of breastfeeding and that's the end of that. Also in the American comments were pediatricians who too, felt completely supportive of the cover and commented that the child should decide when to stop breastfeeding, which can go up to 4 years old when they are ready for real food.
Next was, fascinating! shocker! oh my, never saw this coming! It appears in the UK, Australian and English speaking European news outlets, this cover was no big deal, viewed as completely normal for children. Europeans found nothing disturbing.
What's my take? I believe there is a something derailed in America when it comes to the female breast. American culture sexualizes the breast at every angle, you're not sexy unless you wear this bra, you're not sexy unless you have implants, flash your boobs to get a man, all of these cultural topics detract from purpose of the Time article. I couldn't believe what I was reading in some of the American comments, one mother on Yahoo totally flipped out citing that this cover was porn. And I kept thinking to myself this woman does not see a mother feeding her child, she's totally lost it and I'd be willing to bet there is no explaining to her the difference. She she's breasts, it's automatically porn. Insane.
I believe there is a time for breasts to be sexy, such as Rate My Melons and there is a time for breasts to feed children, it's not one blur. There is a very distinct difference and any normal person knows this.
I feel the same as most supportive moms and pediatricians, 1) there absolutely nothing wrong with this cover and 2) when a kid is ready to stop breastfeeding, the kid will naturally just stop on their own time. That's my say.

Couldn't agree with you more about the "porn" aspect. Seems absurd. I also agree that the kid will stop feeding when it's ready, but I just don't think that age is anywhere near 4 (or however old the boy in the article is). I'm not saying there's some sort of magic age or hard cut-off, but 4 seems high to me.
Anyway, that's just the opinion of a RMM noob. Take it with a grain of salt, or the whole shaker!

Speaking as someone who has breastfed all my kids... you stop when your comfortable to do so...
For me... thats as soon as those baby milk teeth give you the first hint of pain to your nipple...
I feel at my sexiest when my breasts are full of milk...maybe others do to, and thats why they choose to feed so long?

I love your honest perspective and you pose an interesting question on that last part...it's a two part issue-when to stop and the public aspect...personally I feel that nobody should have the authority to tell any woman what to do with her breasts especially when it comes to their primary function. And women certainly don't have to actually feed to keep their breasts producing, as we all know...I think that it's the special bond with their young children that is behind the prolonged feeding for many of them...just conjecture on a fascinating topic..this fan appreciates your post and your view, Naughty
