Time Magazine Breastfeeding Mom: Jamie Lynne Grumet
2012's most notorious mother was Jamie Lynne Grumet, the pretty blond shown on the cover of Time Magazine breastfeeding her three-year-old son, underneath the caption "Are You Mom Enough?"

Breastfeeding Military Moms: Terran Echegoyan McCabe and Christina Luna
Breastfeeding never ceases to cause controversy. Two military moms photographed nursing their babies in their Air Force uniforms as part of a breastfeeding awareness campaign drew public ire and were officially reprimanded for misusing their uniforms back in May. Is breastfeeding while in uniform disrespectful? Or just practical?
