I think breast feeding in public is acceptable as long as it is discrete - I wouldn't want to be sitting in the food court of the mall having a peep show, but if you are in a quiet secluded corner and have everything covered to the best of your ability, go for it. I'd rather see a little breast than hear a kid screaming, because we all know how much I enjoy small children.
I don't like the idea of breastfeeding in a bathroom because so many mothers bring their small kids into the bathroom with them, and they would just ask questions and be impolite - or they could be one of those charming mothers who still brings their 12 year old boy into the women's room.
