Time Magazine Breast Feeding Cover with Jamie Lynn and Son


Time Magazine’s latest cover story is about extreme parenting, and Time’s accompanying cover is, well, extreme. The cover features blogger Jamie Lynn Grumet confidently staring at the reader while offering her nipple to her son AramThe Los Angeles-based mom applies the same practice to her adopted five-year-old son Samuel. 
Time magazine cover image of a mother breastfeeding her three-year-old son has sparked debate about the technique known as attachment parenting. With the headline "Are you mom enough?" Jamie Lynne Grumet, 26, appears on the latest US edition's cover with her son Aram, 3, as he stands on a small seat to reach her.
Jamie Lynne Grumet  thinks there is nothing wrong with either the practice of ‘extreme’ breast-feeding or posing with her breast in her son’s mouth on a national magazine cover in an interview for the Time breastfeeding cover.
“People have to realize this is biologically normal,” Jamie Lynn Grummet said “It’s not socially normal. The more people see it, the more it’ll become normal in our culture. That’s what I’m hoping. I want people to see it,” Jamie Lynne  said in an interview for the Time breastfeeding cover.
"It's really warm. It's like embracing your mother, like a hug. You feel comforted, nurtured and really, really loved. I had so much self-confidence as a child, and I know it's from that." She told the magazine she remembered being latched onto her mother's breast.
She adds that Samuel, who is originally from Ethiopia, took to her breast almost instantly. "Being able to give him that comfort, with the trauma that he faced was really, really important to me. I didn't realize how much it would help my attachment to him. When his English improved, because the connection was there, he didn't do it as much."
The Time cover has also already attracted a growing number of internet memes. However, according to mom Jamie Lynn Grumet’s supporters, it is nurturing, natural and something to be proud of.
The issue will be out May 11.
