Photographer Jade Beall, who is practicing "extended breastfeeding" with her 3-and-a-half-year-old son, posted a bold self-portrait of herself breastfeeding her child on Facebook in an attempt to create a dialogue. "If this offends you, ask me a question rather than call me names," she implored. "Let's learn from one another. Let's be fee from fear of our differences and let's be filled with curiosity and compassion!"
