The issue is NOT breastfeeding, the issue is doing so modestly.

Really? As the husband of the mother of four breast fed kids, I can assure you that we never went out without a modesty blanket and/or “burp” cloth. Whether bottle or breast fed, infants need to be “burped”. After the first time one “spits-up” on your shoulder, even clueless dads learn to ensure that a burp cloth is available & used.

The same applies to a breast feeding modesty blanket.

(BTW, I’ve lived a good deal of time in developing countries where babies are openly breast-fed in public. The mothers usually recognize when people from outside their culture are disturbed or overly curious about their breast feeding and the mothers cover accordingly. No such wisdom in this case)

I don't see where we disagree except for the indication that you wish to disagree and display some sort of moral outrage/superiority.
