Have you seen the cover of Time magazine before this video? What do you think of it? How long do you think a mother should breast-feed, if at all? What's your opinion on attachment parenting? Yesterday was Mother's Day! :) What did you do for your mom?

I have seen the magazine cover and I don't think it's a huge deal. I do think that the child is too old to breastfeed. However, there have been other cases of 10-year-old kids breastfeeding so that's why I'm not too shocked. I think parents can be attached to their parents but to a certain extent. All kids will have to leave their parents some day.
I think that's just a little to graphic for a magazine cover. I wouldn't have done it. I think breast-feeding should stop before a child is two-years-old. Attachment parenting just seems too time consuming. For Mother's Day, my family bought my mom a pretty ring and took her to dinner at her favorite restaurant.
No, I've never seen the cover Of Time magazine. That it is crazy and not healthy. I think that it is crazy and not very healthy. The child needs space being to close is bad for the kid. I did nothing for Mother's Day.
I saw this cover of time magazine at my store. I was still wondering why they would put that on a magazine. I have no idea how long a mother should breast-feed. I made my mom a flower out of wood in shop class and we all went out to eat.
I've seen the cover before and I get the point she's tiring to make. However, I don't think you should breast feed that long. I get that it's suppose to be healthier for the baby to breast feed but I don't think you should do it that long. It's just weird to go past a certain age and it's weird to see it. I feel like she needs to stop breast feeding him because he needs to learn how to eat real food and no live off milk forever.
I saw this cover of Time magazine before this video. I think this mom is doing too much. It's time for her to cut off the milk supply. A mother should breast-feed when her baby is a baby, not a toddler. Some parents need to learn when to cut the cord and let their kids grow up.
I never seen time magazine before. I think it's ok. I just don't like to read though. I don't think a mother should breast feed at all. I don't think so because the child gets to soft. I say that because of the breast fed children in my family is soft. I rather my child not be feed by the mothers breast because it may have something to do with how the child will grow up.
Breast feeding is a necessity for both the mother and the child. For the mother it carries out the simple task of ridding the body of the left over mass (fat) by turning it into the nutritious milk. For the child it gives much needed nutrition to the child. It also creates an emotional tie between the mother and child. Statistically speaking, the longer you breast feed the easier it is to form a relationship between you and the child (obviously not always the case). All in all, unless you have a legitimate medical reason as to not be breast feeding your child then you need to be doing it. Otherwise... well many bad things could be said.
I saw the cover of Time magazine beore watching this video. I think its good to breast feed your baby, but to a certain point. Breast feeding a baby is perfectly fine, but feeding you kid when he's that old, is taking it too far.
I saw this cover a few days ago, and I was shocked. While it effectively gets the point across, it is also very inappropriate. It seems wrong for an older boy to be openly breast fed on the cover of a magazine. I don’t agree with attachment parenting, because, like the woman on the video asserted, it can create self absorbed children. Attending to a baby’s every cry does nothing but create demanding kids. It will also create separation anxiety when the time comes for the child to grow up. I think that mother’s should breast feed if they can, because it creates a special bond between the mother and her baby, but I think that a year is long enough. For Mother’s day, I painted a flower for my mom, and our family went out to eat.
I have never seen this cover on this magazine. I think it is a bit ridiculous that this child is still breast feeding. This child might need to grow up a little. I think they should stop when they stop drinking out of bottles and move to solid food. I think it is o.k. for kids to be attached, but they also need to be somewhat independent.
I have not seen the Time magazine cover before this video. I think it's CRAZY! I'm not sure how long my mother breast fed, but I know she didn't do it for a long time. I don't think it's a bad thing, I've just never seen it before.
I have never seen the cover of Time magazine before this video. That is not healthy for her baby. He should be on solid foods by now. A mother should breastfeed from the time born to a little more than half of a year, starting to wean the baby from milk to solids. Attachment parenting is not so good for the child if they are still crying for momma at the age of five. It really spoils the child and like the video said, the child eventually thinks the world revolves around them. They should be a little independent by that age, getting ready for Kindergarten the next year.
I had never saw this cover before today. I think its ridiculous and just too much to still be breast feeding. I think a mother should only breast feed until the child is about a year. When that child is old enough to walk around and hold their own bottle, let them. Breast feeding probably would help the parent attach but I feel they would attach anyway. You still parent the child and nurture them whether you breast feed or not. My mom was out of town all weekend but I bought her a spa certificate and flowers and my dad made her dinner.
