Time Magazine Cover Photo
Time Magazine Cover Photo, Grumet told NBC’s Savannah Guthrie “we knew exactly what we were going to get into” by appearing in the article and photo, although she acknowledged the firestorm around the magazine cover went beyond her expectations.
Grumet, who practices what is known as attachment parenting and herself was breast-fed until she was six, added that she doesn’t feel like being with her child constantly — including having him sleep in her bed — takes away from her personal life.
“You know, my relationship with my husband is very, very important to me and I think that it gives my children a strong bond, too,” she said. “So I think a lot of people say, you know, you can’t really be, you know, intimate with your husband if you’re co-sleeping and that’s just — I mean those are kind of myths, too.”
Grumet added that her son Aaron is self-weaning now, and she hopes this will be the last year she breastfeeds him. “It’s not right for everybody. You need to do what’s best for your baby and your own family,” she added.
Dr. Bill Sears, who Time magazine dubbed attachment parenting’s “guru,” also appeared on the show and told Guthrie the practice is “not extreme.”
“If you were on an island and you had no mother-in-laws, no psychologists, no doctors around, no experts, this is what you would naturally and instinctively do to give your baby the best investment,” he said. (Politico)
