You know I never liked this magazine,

But now I think I need a subscription

I'm so sick of people having a fit over magazines that show a breast being used what it is FOR and yet no one yells about the covers with women wearing swimsuits that show more...

GIVE ME A BREAK if you don't like it, don't look!

    My gawd, it doesn't even show anything, no nipple or even the baby's mouth. People are so freaking stupid. Only in the US would they get so worked up over it. Get over it.

    I agree with Candy. I think it's a great cover and if nothing else, it draws light to a touchy subject that I think people should be more comfortable with. It's a natural thing and for hundreds of years, was the only way that a child would get fed. I know nursing was a very important part of raising my children and caused me a lot of stress when Kyle couldn't nurse because of his cleft. Okay, that's another post for another time.. I'm glad you posted this.

    Oh the controversy over this issue is just ridiculous. I cant even begin to go into the fact of how immature and wacky people are when it comes to breastfeeding.

    I am pro breastfeeding if it is right for the mom and baby, I wish people would stop being so one sided. It is really sad.

    Chris at Notes from the trenches posted two posts about this.

    I am still shocked people found that cover offensive it shows less breast than maxim magazine shows!

    what is wrong with people!?
    ugh, Why is breast feeding so tabboo?
    It's not like there was a picture of a woman and a man concieving a child on the cover!
    I will proudly breastfeed in public (not to make a point so much but because my child needs to eat too).

    I was reading the comments of the ladies that were offended. What the hell is wrong with these people. Totally ridiculous!
