Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26 year-old parenting blogger, offers her nipple to 3-year-old son Aram on the cover of this week’s Time magazine, to promote a story about attachment parenting, an approach that encourages parents to breastfeed and co-sleep with their children. - http://thedailywh.at/2012...
It's interesting how so many Americans (well, most Westerners anyway) are appalled by nursing at age 3 (like the kid in this picture) but in many, many other countries and cultures, still nursing at 3 is completely normal.

If a magazine in one of those other countries wanted to sell more via an attention-getting, controversial cover, they would have to find an even *bigger* 3-year-old. Or photoshop. Maybe TIME photoshopped this kid.

I've seen documentaries where women are still breastfeeding their 8 - 10yo's. I don't think it's gross or anything, but I would think that by that age some other form of bonding/attachment might be more appropriate/healthy. I wouldn't think anything of someone breastfeeding a 3yo, though.
