The latest issue of Time magazine has an article about Dr. Bill Sears, the leader of the attached parenting movement that includes extended breastfeeding. But it’s the magazine’s cover that is stirring debate. It features a 26-year-old California mom breastfeeding her son, who’s nearly four and is standing on a chair to reach his mother’s breast, which is hanging out of her tank top.

The stay-at-home mom in the photo, Jamie Lynne Grumet of Los Angeles, says she was breastfeed until she was six, and adds that she’s given up on trying to reason with strangers who threaten “to call social services” when they see her nursing her son. “People have to realize this is biologically normal,” she says. “The more people see it, the more it’ll become normal in our culture. That’s what I’m hoping. I want people to see it.”
