So do you want her to feed the child on the toilet or outside with the smokers? Babies eat constantly and on their own schedules. They don't have the stomach capacity for three meals a day. It can be done discretely and generally is as long as nobody makes a big deal out of it. You'd be suprised at how often you didn't notice.
There was a short period of time when the cultural norm of breast-feeding on demand was suppressed, mostly to market baby formula to the middle-class. People now understand that babies get a lot more than nutrition from their mothers and societies norms are shifting back where they belong. Do we really want to make good mothers another group of social outcasts?
