I mean...it’s fucking hot, who wants to be under a blanket? My comfort level says 3 is the oldest acceptable age to breastfeed, but some people would disagree with me. Tbh, I don’t really care how, when, where, or for how long other women choose to breastfeed their kids. I have my kids to worry about and they can worry about theirs.
Okay, that's fine if that's your comfort level with it. I would personally say even 2 is a little old to be breastfeeding. But I'm not a mother, so once again I suppose that's fine if it's fine to you.

The idea of covering up came from prudish religion. Do you see other primates covering up when feeding their young? Does a cat or dog cover up when feeding their young?
There are plenty of things wrong with this position you're taking. But I have a feeling that getting into that wouldn't help you change your mind all too much.
So, here's the gist. My position toward it is apathy... I don't really care either way. If that's a middle ground, then that's where I'm at. Your insistence that there's only one way to look at this topic is a little bizarre, even if I do agree with the sentiment of - who cares it's just breastfeeding. There's more than one way to look at things.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
