A mother who posed on the cover of TIME magazine breastfeeding her three-and-a-half-year-old son has recreated a similar shot with her child now aged four.

Jamie Lynne Grumet, 26, from Los Angeles, is the cover star of this month's Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine, which advocates attachment parenting - a parenting style that includes co-sleeping with a child, constant skin-on-skin contact, and extended breastfeeding.

Unlike the TIME shot which showed her breastfeeding Aram as he stood on a seat to reach her, the new image shows her sat with him suckling her breast while husband Brian and adopted son Samuel huddle around.

Photographer Lori Dorman, who captured the family for the non-profit quarterly, said that she was trying to 'correct the misperception that was created on the TIME cover' which was slammed by critics when it was published in May.

She added: 'Its message was that nursing a three-year-old was outrageous and inappropriate, when in fact nursing a three-year-old is a normal, healthy activity in the world today.'
