Baby Magazine Shocks Mothers

"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine," one person wrote. "I immediately turned the magazine face down," wrote another. "Gross, I am sick of seeing a baby attached to a boob," wrote Lauren, a mother of a 4-month-old.

These readers weren't complaining about a sexually explicit cover, but rather one of a baby nursing, on a wholesome parenting magazine.

Babytalk editor Susan Kane says "There's a huge Puritanical streak in Americans," she says, "and there's a squeamishness about seeing a body part — even part of a body part. It's not like women are whipping them out with tassels on them!"

Next thing you know the Attorney General will be covering breasts on statues
