Are you seriously comparing breast feeding in public to public masterbation? Apple and oranges much? Breast feeding is in no way sexual.

Promoting attachment parenting and on demand breast feeding is quite possible one of the most conservative philosophies there is.
You are not getting any less liberal, you are just getting more intolerant.
Intolerance is not conservatism

Are you referring to the kid in the article? He is 3, which makes him preschool.

Well see that's where the problem lies. Hannible is a sick individual for it. Are you? My guess is that if you think there is anything sexual with it you just may be the sick one.
Could you please provide a Nat Geo photo of a 3 year old suckling his mother?
Evaporated milk formulas In the 1920s and 1930s, evaporated milk began to be widely commercially available at low prices, and several clinical studies suggested that babies fed evaporated milk formula thrive as well as breastfed babies[11][21] These findings are not supported by modern research. These studies, accompanied by the affordable price of evaporated milk and the availability of the home icebox initiated a tremendous rise in the use of evaporated milk formulas.[4] By the late 1930s, the use of evaporated milk formulas in the United States surpassed all commercial formulas, and by 1950 over half of all babies in the United States were reared on such formulas.[11]
By the early 1960s, commercial formulas were more commonly used than evaporated milk formulas in the United States, which all but vanished in the 1970s. By the early 1970s, over 75% of American babies were fed on formulas, almost entirely commercially produced.[4]
Infant formula is nutritionally inferior to breast milk[6] but superior to other substitutes, such as milk from cows. Besides breast milk, infant formula is the only other milk product which the medical community considers nutritionally acceptable for infants under the age of one year. Supplementing with solid food in addition to breast milk or formula begins during weaning, and most babies begin supplementing about the time their first teeth appear, usually around the age of six months.
Despite the recommendation that babies be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, less than 40% of infants below this age are exclusively breastfed worldwide.[43] The overwhelming majority of American babies are not exclusively breastfed for this period – in 2005 under 12% of babies were breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months,[35] with over 60% of babies of 2 months of age being fed formula,[44] and approximately one in four breastfed infants having infant formula feeding within two days of birth.[4
