Their flight was three hours late but appeared to be preparing for takeoff Oct. 13 when Gillette decided to breast-feed her 22-month-old, she said.
I guess the baby should starve because the flight was three hours late?

First of all why would she refuse to use a blanket. That becomes obvious she is out to cause trouble. Second of all an airplane is not public it is private property and what they say goes.

Yes about time to switch to at least semi-solid food.

I hope I don't offend some of the moms around here but that's a toddler. At two, most kids can at least drink out of a sippy cup.

It blows me away that people find this offensive. This is what breasts are for, the pervs are the ones who somehow see a sexual overtone it it all.

When I breastfed it was impossible to use a blanket.
It made me sweat - it made the baby sweat - we both were a sweaty slippery mess when it was over.
There are tops that can be worn where it is possible to breastfeed without exposing the whole breast, and the baby covers up most of the breast too.
women can never win. If the baby cried the whole flight, everyone would have been glaring at her, wondering why she didn't try to calm the baby.

Excuse me? 22 months old? And still breast feeding?

It's private. It's not sexual but it is good manners to drape.

Don't you think breast feeding that late is a little odd though..I mean 22 months?

it made the baby sweatThis is basically a 2-year-old child. And puhleeze, some sort of cover-up is perfectly reasonable in public. I nursed my kids, but always found a way to do it inconspicuously.

A child at this age may still want to breastfeed as a comfort - or right before going to sleep.
Maybe the child is drinking other fluids, but mom could have been trying to soothe the baby for the flight.

22 months?? My kids were eating cheeseburgers by then. Can't drape so that the folks next to you don't have to be in the thick of things? I think this lady was spoiling for a legal battle for some quick cash.
