I couldn't believe it myself. Not BF in front of boys?! Why is ok to have VS spammed all over the television ok for boys and feeding a child (a.k.a. the REAL purpose for boobs) not be ok?!

Sometimes I am really embarrassed by our society.

I agree. What we see on television and in movies for "entertainment" is apparently okay yet, when a mother wants to nourish her child the way that nature intends, it is considered innappropriate. It ticks me off.

I redid the post...noy sure why it wouldn't work all of the sudden? Maybe they change the link every couple of minutes.

Does make me feel good to see the positive articles, though.

You know I can forgive shock..but outrage???? Are people nuts? I swear I do not get it. I honestly thought everyone would be proud they did it...especially b/c it is mothers who get this magazine. I am so shocked and outraged at their reactions

"I was offended and it made my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on the coffee table."

I am sorry, but I'm just not buying this. My husband put it well when he said, even if there is an off chance we see a boob and think it's nice, that is really all that happens. It's "oh, it's a breast. That's nice. Okay, so what time is the game on?" It's not like a guy is going to go jump a woman if he sees her NIP. I think the woman who said the above is the one with the problem and obviously very concerned that her husband does not under any circumstances see another woman's breast.

Secondly, that could be a knee or a cheek or a thigh. Really it's just a swath of skin. People are so ruled by the power of suggestion, it's crazy.

Dude, that's a beautiful baby! I seriously have a hard time checking the breast out because the baby's eyes keep pulling me in.

And it's not like you actually see nipple or anything to PROVE that it's a breast and not a....peach colored ball? Just imagine for a minute that a shoulder or elbow or...pregnant belly is blocking the baby's face. If I look at the photo thinking that, I can see it that way, so how much more could they have done to suggest breast without showing (all identifying parts of a) breast? I don't think it's ALL that explicit, frankly (could it be a ball?!)


C'mon, people! A mother of a four-month-old saying "Gross"?! And being "sick" of seeing a baby "attached to a boob"? Is that a joke, like "why would I want to see it on a magazine when I can look down 25 times a day and see it right in front of me?" or a person who really hates breastfeeding her baby, or a person who does not breastfeed and is, um, sick of seeing babies nursing? Wow.

I guess all the comments, the emotion, the outrage blow my mind but from a mother of a young infant?! (I guess most subscribers would fit that category, though.) Yikes.

And how could you say "gross" when that baby's face is the focal point of the whole thing (and how lovely that the focal point for the infant is the mom! It's so obvious, and so nice.)

I read somewhere else that one mother tore off the cover and shredded it so her teen sons wouldn't see it. "Why should they see that? Breasts are about sex," or something along those lines was the quote.
