I'd be interested to know how muslims think about it, officially (from the MCB or something). They can either look at it as being immodest, and therefore bad (for a woman)... They are used to having it down under a jilbab where you'd be hard to notice it happening at all. The other way you can look at it, is that it is the epiome of child-rearing, which is a real plus point in Islam, so maybe they'd like to see it. I suppose it depends on the mentality of the person, as much as it would do for a non-muslim.
I am wth you in that I can't see how it can possibly be offensive, especially with the amount of boobs you see around you anyway in newspapers, magazines, etc. (But then again, because they look the same as a male chest, but bigger, I never saw the fuss about why one is fine to look at, and the other isn't anyway).
I am not a fan of PCness though, and we do have to share this world with other people (as much as some wouldn't like to admit it)... And these people might object, so we should find some happy medium that keeps everyone happy. If someone objects, can't the lady use the toilet? OK, not the nicest of venues, but I don't suppose the kid will mind. I wouldn't like to see restaurants banning it as a rule, but geninely if someone is really offended by it (Gawd knows why) then I think you'd have to consider them, as well as everyone else.
