Should a mother continue nursing her child after the child is too big to be held in her arms?

This week's cover of Time Magazine shows 26-year-old Los Angeles mother Jamie Lynne Grumet nursing her 3-year-old son, who reaches her breast with the help of a chair.

According to Fox News, the story is about Dr. Bill Sears, a parenting educator who advocates extreme child-rearing techniques

The cover has caused an uproar on social media.

WACH Fox asked the Facebook community what it thought of the image.

"I think Time will do anything to try to boost sales," said Sue Turner

"Good Grief!" exclaimed Donna Coffin.

Allan Cook says, "This used to be fairly common. I remember when the Regency Mall was in its prime and as I walked through I saw a woman breast feeding her child. I wasn't offended at all. A sick person that couldn't control their emotions or urges would be thinking differently though."

Did Time go too far with breast-feeding cover image?
