Breast feeding mom speaks out
Posted: 09/19/2012
NEW YORK - We’re hearing more from the mom who sparked a breastfeeding debate by nursing her toddler on the cover of Time magazine.
It’s been nearly four months since the famous cover hit newsstands, and Jamie Lynne Grumet is saying she was unhappy with the photo and article.
To set the record straight, she is doing it all over again.
Grumet took photos for the non-profit magazine “Pathways To Family Wellness” breast-feeding her now 4-year-old son.
“Our intentions were to help relive the stigma attached to breast feeding past infancy,” she says. “The photo I saw wasn’t the one that we were trying to pose for. It made me really sad.”
Grumet says she was breastfed until she was six.
