Parents Can Be So Embarrassing
Mom, stop please, you're embarrassing me.
I know breast-feeding’s natural, it’s just that, I don’t know. Can’t you go somewhere more private?
It’s your decision, I understand. I’m just asking can you please go somewhere more private. Those kids are staring.
They pick on me, that’s why!
No, please mom, don’t go talk to them. It’ll just make it worse
Can we move to another table; one in the back maybe?
They’re staring, please.
Dad, can you at least not make that slurping sound?

Oh come on, they are just boobs. The kid is hungry. Generally the only other ways of feeding your kid the boob is by sitting in a smelly bathroom, cramming yourself in your car in the parking lot, or fully taking on the reclusive life of a new mother. None are great options, so give her a break.
A little bit of your embarassment gives her an opportunity to interact with the non-lactating. Do you civic duty and just pretend its not happening.
(BTW, it doesn't bother me. I just don't look.)

I do belive you missed the punchline of this particular post.
"Dad, can you at least not make that slurping sound?"
The fact that the father is making a slurping sound implies that it was not a baby that was breast feeding, it was a grown man.
