Time magazine cover of mum breastfeeding three-year-old son is sure to raise some eyebrows.

I walked in on my wife breast feeding the other day, it was a bit weird. Didn't even realise her mum was in town.

Your mother inlaw was sucking your wifes breast

Regardless of the debate, from an artistic standpoint, that is an outstanding and thought provoking photograph.

Definately one for debate. Personally i see it as quite natural. Although the lad may grow up as a fierce mummys boy, and mum may need a good nip and tuck a couple of years down the track

Yes...many thoughts...many

On a related note:
A few weeks ago I walked past a cafe.

As I walked by, a person sitting behind the cafe's large glass window caught my eye. At the same time I turned to look inside, it took a split second to see that it was a Mum breastfeeding her bub. And at that very same moment, bub pulled back away from Mum to reveal what I regard as the most wonderful, beautiful, perfect breast/nipple I have had the pleasure of seeing.

I had to fight my natural thoughts and instincts to not get an erection in the minutes that followed.

Those two boys are going to cop so much shit in high school.

Especially if their mum rocks up at lunch time to breastfeed them.

My mum died when I was about 8 months old so my older sister breastfed me until I was 3. I turned out alright?

If I were the kid, I'd be sucking on them as long as she would let me

I work in child and adolescent mental health. Oldest breastfeeder I've had in our service is 8. Breastfeeding at those ages is definitely NOT OKAY. Unless you want your kid presenting to psychiatric services in the future.

I prefer to use my mates Mum's these days

Bitty!

As in most things, it's the usual case of Americans taking a healthy, sensible choice like breastfeeding an infant and then running a mile with it.

I do hope that Australian mothers have not gone batshit crazy with the attachment parenting thing - I wouldn't have thought it was something that Aussies would get into, but who knows these days?

Bitty!

Please don't.

Why would you breast feed your 8 year old kid? Seriously?

Very normal reaction to a tough situation. Babies need milk, its not like you can buy the stuff at the shops or anything.

Only in Adelaide!

I wish I was that lucky, if I fell into a barrel full of nipples, I'd come out sucking me thumb!
