Controversial Time's Magazine Cover: A Woman Breastfeeding!

TIME‘s newest cover image — of a woman breastfeeding her 3-year-old son — is causing quite a stir.

The magazine’s cover story addresses the issue of attachment parenting, saying that the popular method of parenting, promoted by Dr. Bill Sears, “drives some mothers to the extremes.”

But before most people have had a chance to read the actual story, they are reacting — online, on Facebook and on Twitter — to the bold image of a beautiful blonde mom standing nursing her son, who is standing on a chair.

“When you think of breastfeeding, you think of mothers holding their children, which was impossible with some of these older kids,” explains photographer Martin Schoeller.“The idea of having the kids standing up to underline the point that this was an uncommon situation.”
