I breastfed my daughter (over 30 years ago), no drama.
Personally, during breastfeeding time I preferred a quiet, private room because it was such a peaceful bonding time. I liked having the pillows for support and putting my feet up while sitting in a comfy chair. I can't imagine enjoying close time between us in a busy noisy mall with lots of people around while sitting on a hard bench. Breast feeding is more than just pumping nutrients into a small body.
I feel the same way about bottle feeding, BTW. Just sticking a bottle in a baby's mouth while the mom keeps shopping or doing whatever is not "motherly" either, in my opinion. The worst is seeing moms prop up bottles in the stroller or crib for the babies and not even hold them while feeding them.
