I wondered if she keeps her son locked in his room, because if not, he will see some pretty explicit stuff on television, on magazine covers (like the Cosmo with things like "S*x secrets he wishes you knew"), and in real life. She thinks seeing breastfeeding will harm him? It might make him a little uncomfortable, but it also might teach him, like your friend said, "that women’s breasts have a purpose other than selling beer, cars, and sports gear." I think the photo should show more! Like the woman. And I also think people who turn this into a nursing in public issue should remember/know that moms don't usually bare quite that much flesh when nursing in public. Enough rambling.

Enough rambling.

From what I read, they are not pulling the magazine or changing the cover. Good for them! Maybe this mainstream mag has seen he light? I am proud of Babytalk for not really caring.

One of the secrets of breastfeeding is that having a supportive husband is 80% of the battle- what kind of support is that young man whose mother shredded to cover going to be able to offer? "My mother said that boobies are nasty things that I shouldn't look at, so you'd better not get them out, dear..." Just what we need.

I did write my letter to the editor applauding them for portraying a baby feeding naturally. I hope they will get an overwhelming positive response.

You should see the looks I get when I nurse my DD in public. The first comment reminded me of this: http://www.mamac-ta.com/?p=551 One of them is about nursing in front of a boy, but it's all too funny!
