Washington: The title page of Time magazine’s latest edition has become a controversial issue as it shows a 26-year-old mother breastfeeding her nearly 3-year-old boy. Many people say its ‘disgusting’.
The headline of the story is: “Are you mom enough?”
The story is about 72-year-old paediatrician Dr. William Sears, supporting attachment parenting, a controversial approach to child development.
Below are some tweets that show how Time magazine’s latest cover has ruffled a few feathers:
@SudarshanEMA Rick Stengel. I hope it will be the END of Time magazine but it won’t. Media keep using women as products for profit!
