I haven't seen the cover of this magazine until now. I think breast feeding at three years old is ridiculous! I'm not really sure what age or month you should stop breast feeding but I know it's way before three years of age. I think attachment parenting isn't a good way to raise a child, when they get older there going to be lazy and want you to do everything for them. I bought my mom a beautiful card and some flowers for mother's day and we all went out to eat at Virginia Diner. (:

I have not seen the cover of Time magazine before this video. I think it's too risque. I think breastfeeding should be stopped after the child has turned one. I think that sometimes when parents are too attached to their children it can have bad consequences. I treated my mom the best yesterday.

No I have not seen the magazine before this. There is nothing wrong with breast feeding. Though it shouldn't go on into the toddler years. It should end in infancy. If you stick to your kid to much in the early years he'll become to dependent on the parents. On mothers day I made my mom a card and a little gift, she cried. She was very happy and I'm glad I could make my mom happy like that.

I have seen this cover before. I find that it is pretty disgusting. I think if you choose to breast feed, the child shouldn't be older than about a year old. I think these parents need to calm down and be much less attached to their children. I'd never want to be with my child at every moment in the day, because they don't need to be catered to. I was never "attatched", and I turned out fine. I got my mom flowers and made her a book of things I'll do for her, because she hasn't had one of those in like 10 years.

I had never seen the magazine cover until today. I think that a baby should stop breast feeding when they can start eating other food. I do not believe in attachment parenting. And for mothers day I had to get my dirtbike ready for my race coming up. So I went and got some parts and got the bike ready to go. I dont do to much for mothers day.

I have never seen the cover of the Time magazine before I heard about this story. I think people just need to back off of her case. She has a good point though. I think a mother can breast-feed her child for however long she chooses. Its her child and she chooses to do what she want with that child as long as it's not illegal. Breast-feeding is not illegal. I honestly didn't do much for mom because I have too much stuff going on. And then P-Fresh got off of work late, so we went to eat at Cazadores at 8. We were planning to go to the movies, shopping, and then going to eat, but that had to get messed up with work.

No I haven't seen the cover of Time magazine before this video. I think it's ok to breast-feed. I think a mother should breast-feed until the baby stop sucking. I don't about the attachment parenting. Well my mom went out to eat.

I saw this add and I was shocked! At first I was freaked out because I figured it was a model and a model baby and that would be totally wrong but then I looked it up and I found out that they were mother-child and I think it’s perfectly fine. Brest feeding makes a baby healthy but some parents can’t or just don’t want to and it’s fine because they have substitute formulas. I don’t know how mother’s breast feed through teething but I guess they can. In my opinion, when I get older I want to breast feed but I want to use the tools because I ant my baby to drink from a bottle. My mother’s day was great! My family went to church and my baby cousin got dedicated and then we had a cook out. There we gave our gifts for our mothers, my brother and I gave my mommy a gift card for a pedicure and manicure and a gift card for a massage, she loved it!

I have not seen this cover before this video. I think that if she wanna do it then let her do it that's her, but she really shouldn't breast feed that long. I really don't know how long a mother should breast feed but three years is a long time. I would want my child to be attach to me and don't wanna go to other people like family members, it would also get annoying after a point. On mother's Day we cooked on the grill for her and called some of our family members too.

Yes I have seen the cover of this magazine. I think it is crazy how she can still breast feed her 3 year old son. I think a mother should stop breast feeding close to 1 so they can start on regular milk. My opinion on attachment parenting is that you should give your child care and love but don't cradle them or they will look forward to you doing that for the rest of there lives. Honestly I really didn't do much but I did give her all my money I have left and she was happy for that.

I did not see the cover of Time magazine until this blog and I was very surprised that they would put that picture up there. I don't know much about breast-feeding but I'm pretty sure your supposed to stop way before 4 years old I mean that kids about to start preschool. I don't think that attachment parenting is a good idea because like the video said, other people aren't gonna tend to your every need so you need to start preparing your child for that.My dad and I took my mom to horse races because she loves horses and we got her a cake and some other little gifts.

Yes, I've seen the Time magazine before this video. I think it's a little crazy, because her son is like 4. He should be drinking out of cups. I think if a mother does breast-feed, she should stop at about 1. For mothers day, I cooked my mom dinner and helped her around the house with the stuff that needed to be done, so she wouldn't have to do it.

I haven't seen the cover of Time magazine before this video. I think there is nothing wrong with breast feeding but I think that it's wierd that her son is three and she is still breast feeding. I'm not really sure how I feel about the attachment parenting. Because it gives you that bond between you and your child but it also doesn't really help the child in being prepared for going out in the real world. You can't just always turn to your mom when you're older. We went to church and then drove her to Richmond to meet her mom and brother. When we were there we went to this like flower park (because my mom loves flowers and gardens) and then went downtown to shop. We finished the night by watching the survivor finale.

No, i have never seen this magazine cover before this video. Of course its somewhat revealing and unrealistic, that's why so many people don't like it. I think breast feeding is a personal choice and the parents choice when to stop. I personally like the idea of attachment parenting. However, it has its pros and cons. It could negatively affect your child by spoiling them and giving them the idea that they get everything they want.

I've never seen this magazine cover before. I think he should start eating regular food at that age already. I think a mother shouldn't breast feed after their child develops his teeth.

Holly cow. My wife is not going to be doing that. That's definitely the first time I've seen that and hopefully the last. Why would she even show that to the world. Why are the hot ones always the wierd ones. Wow.

Jamie said...

No, this is my first time watching this video. I think a mother should breast-feed until the baby has it first teeth. On Mother's Day, I brought my mom a outfit with the jewelry that match it and a card. Also I took her out to eat. We went to the Huddle House.

I have not seen that cover. I don't think that it should be done when they're that old. I think that attachment parenting is good, but to a certain extent. -Josh Cutchins

I havent seen this magazine cover until watching this video. I think that is a bit disturbing but I do think it got people's attention like they wanted. I think breast feeding is natural and should be done, but I also agree if your child can walk they should not be still drinking their mom's milk. Attachment parenting is a good idea, but they will have to leave eventually and should be eating regular nutritions. We went to grandma's house, she got some new sandals from target!

I have never seen this cover before until now. I think that this cover is weird. I would never put a picture like that for the world to see. I think that a mother should breast feed up to at least age 1 or a little after 2. I think that attachment parenting would be kind of annoying. For mother's day, I fixed my mother breakfast, gave her a card with 5 dollars and a gift card and a spinning picture frame.

Dylan said...

I have seen it and to be honest I don't really like it. I think 6-12 months should be breast feed time. I made my mom cupcakes. I don't agree with attachment parenting it is weird.

Katelyn said...

I have never seen this cover of Time magazine before until now. I mean it's the parents choice whether to breast feed or not. But that's a little too long. I mean I would never breast feed that long. That's a little ridiculous. For some attachment parenting, it's okay. But like what that ladies is doing, no it's not. I got her some flowers and made her a card and got her a Itunes Gift Card and a coffee mug.

Dr. Watson said...

No, I had never seen the cover of Time magazine before this video. I think some people are crazy and they are setting up their children to be joked on and unsuccessful in life. They are going to be attached to their mother and when that child needs to leave, he will be lost and come back crying for “Mommy.” I made my mom breakfast and got her a card and flowers.

Martha Ann Griffin said...

Yes. I thought it was kind of crazy. I think a mother should stop breast-feeding when the child has gained their immunities. I think attachment parenting is kind of crazy. I fixed her breakfast and gave her flowers.

Zach Cahalan,
I think this is ridiculous. I don't think there is a certain time that a child should stop breast feeding but I mean come on now three years old? For mother's day we had a little cook out and relaxed.

No this is my first time seeing it. I think it's a little crazy. I think a mother should breast-feed until the baby has it first teeth. I think is to spend time with them. What I did for mother's day was going out to eat at a restaurant.

I hadn't seen the cover before now but I had heard about it on the radio. I think that it's a bit crazy to have that graphic and mature of a video out there where everyone can see it. I think that it depends on the the mother and child and the situation on whether or not a mother should breast-feed. From what I know it's not for everyone but I've heard that it is more healthy for the child. Yesterday we went to my nana's house for Mother's Day and had lunch.

Amber Furman said...

I hadn't been the cover until now but I have heard of woman breast feeding till the kids are like five. I think its gross. I think a breast feeding should be something that you stop slowly. Like you should start doing one bottle before bed and then do it more and more gradually. By one I think kids should be drinking more out of sippy cup. Those kids are going to have a really hard time getting off breast milk. Parents should have privacy and that child is going to be extremely clingy which can result in a broken marriage. I live with my Grandma so I made her a card and cookie dough brownies. I don't like doing things that are too sweet thou because she always starts crying and I HATE seeing her cry!

Jameela said...

I think it is crazy that this child is still being breast feed . Some mother overdo it just a little . That can really make your child act crazy when they get older .

Shannon said...

yes, I have seen this and I think it is ridiculous. If a baby is old enough to walk and talk then the baby should be to old to be breast fed. I believe you should breast feed maybe for the first 6 months if that but by six months you are already starting to feed them baby jar food. I believe attachment parenting is wrong and that is what is wrong with the world today. I believe there is a fine balance between spending time with your child and smothering your child.

I definitely haven't seen the cover of the magazine until now. It's very shocking to see something like that. That's taking things a little bit too far if you ask me.
Attachment parenting is a bit much in my opinion. I think that it spoils children and I don't want to deal with a child that has an attitude problem from not getting what they want.
Breast-feeding should definitely be stopped by the age of two. If a child is still breast-feeding past then, it just doesn't seem right.
For my mom, I went sneaking to Yankee Candle while we were at the mall and I spent the day cleaning for her. Nothing much.
