A controversial Time magazine cover, which shows a young mom breast-feeding her nearly 4-year-old son as he stands on a chair, has caused a media frenzy and inspired critics and supporters alike.

Cover mom Jamie Grumet, 26, and her son Aram discussed the kerfuffle with TODAY's Savannah Guthrie on Friday.
