Jamie Lynne Grumet, 26, has
appeared on the cover of Time magazine breastfeeding her three-year-old Aram as
he stands on a small seat to reach her. The Los Angeles mother has spoken about
how she applies the same attachment parenting method to her adopted
five-year-old son Samuel.
Ms Grumet was breastfed by her own mother until the age of six. In a larger feature story about the controversial parenting technique, she tells the magazine that she is able to recall memories of being latched onto her mother's breast. She said: 'It's really warm. It's like embracing your mother, like a hug. You feel comforted, nurtured and really, really loved. I had so much self-confidence as a child, and I know it's from that.
' She wrote on her blog: 'When critics are making very uneducated analyses of these issues (with absolutely no persona experience), it actually hurts the mothers trying to care for their children. 'Find me a child that was breastfed past two that said they wished they hadn't been.' She continued: 'Motherhood is hard enough then to hear constantly how you are caring for your child is "weird" or makes people "uncomfortable" is almost too much to handle.'
