Obscene and gross:

Not obscene or gross...

It's about the same amount of boob. It's a crazy world, friends... a crazy world.

"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine"

I am shocked whenever I don't see a giant breast on the cover of a magazine.

[BenLurkin]

It's called "baby talk" -- but how is the baby in that picture going to be able to utter anything?

[Perdogg]

I don't think it is gross at all.

My sister breast fed my niece at my graduation (she had a towel to cover herself). I saw a woman breast fed her kid on the metro.

LOL

This same argument was going on 20-30 years ago when I was nursing my kids. And 20 years before that!

Everything old is new again. ;-)

I liked the woman who didn't want her husband or son to have to see a breast that they didn't 'want' to see. I guess she's content for them to stick to online porn... lol

Maybe it's really an elbow and not a breast.

[Vision]

I'm not sure what the two pictures have to do with each other.

I find the baby picture beautiful, but in my home, not on a magazine cover.

[dfwgator]

Reminds me of that joke, what do breasts and toy trains have in common? They were both made for kids, but the fathers always want to play with them.

"I'm totally supportive of it - I just don't like the flashing," she says. "I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see."

It isn't flashing to breast feed a baby. Also, she isn't worried about here son and husband seeing a "breast they didn't want to see", she is worried about them seeing a breast SHE doesn't want them to see.

"I shredded it," said Gayle Ash, of Belton, Texas, in a telephone interview. "A breast is a breast - it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that."

What an incredibly immature view of the world. How did this woman ever manage to get pregnant in the first place - by lying back and thinking of the Alamo? ;)

Besides that picture doesn't even look like a breast - it could just as easily be a (small) part of Ted Kennedy's belly.

[lawnguy]

even as breast-feeding itself gains more support from the government and medical community.

You have to be lib to the bone to even write this sentence. Who cares what the "government" thinks about breast feeding?

[Fairview]

That's a pretty innocent picture, and an adorable baby. How well I remember that expression on a baby's face at just the same point in the proceedings.

People really are odd and puritanical if they can get upset over this. There is absolutely no need for anyone, male or female, to see anything at all when one is breastfeeding in public. It can be done with such perfect discretion that no flesh shows at all. People who mind a fully-clad woman with a ten-pound bulge in her arms have got a problem.

[kcmt01]

Only a really creepy pervert would think that a nursing baby is "sexual".

[bannie]

So...

functioning, natural breasts are obscene

and

Non-lactating or silicone-filled breasts are "natural"?

???

OY...oy...OY!!!

"I shredded it," said Gayle Ash, of Belton, Texas, in a telephone interview. "A breast is a breast - it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that."

Grow up, ayle Ash, of Belton, Texas.

[spunkets]

You're right, there's nothing wrong with the cover pic. Looks fine. Looks like they've got some interesting stories in there too... "quickie routines that work!"

:o)

[Tax-chick]

It's a crazy world, friends... a crazy world.

I agree. I don't think it's a very attractive picture of the baby or the boob "-), but it's not showing anything that's not on dozens of other general-circulation magazine covers.

[leda]

Another mother, Kelly Wheatley, wrote Babytalk to applaud
the cover, precisely because, she says, it helps educate
people that breasts are more than sex objects. And yet
Wheatley, 40, who's still nursing her 3-year-old daughter,
rarely breast-feeds in public, partly because it's more
comfortable in the car, and partly because her husband is
uncomfortable with other men seeing her breast.

hypocrites!

hiding in cars, disgusting public restrooms or in the dark
shadows of stairwells in malls to feed an infant is ridiculous!

[tet68]

It's a crazy world when people get upset over
a travel mags depiction of Le Grand Tetons on the cover.
