Unfortuneatly a lot of women who are on a breast feeding kick don't want to
be subtlely nursing a baby. They want everyone to see them nursing a baby.
The squick factor here, to me, was not that the kid appeared school age or
was asking for it, but that Mom was making a public scene about how she had
a feed her son/keep him hydrated whatever by breast when he's clearly too
old to be taking all of his nourishment from mom. There is a small minority
of women who breast feed their kids for comfort reasons at ages 4,5,6 etc
and thats certainly fine, but I doubt a six year old child should still be
primarily on the breast nutitrion wise, which is what the freaky mother was
implying by her rant about not being able to feed her son.
