The way clothing is made for breast feeding mothers keeps exposure to the minimum.
I have no problem with public breast feeding. Now, if I saw a woman just leaving herself exposed in order to do so, it may be a different story. I've been in a few different places and seen breast feeding mothers, but I have yet to see a mother completely exposing herself. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the short time that I breast fed my own child, I probably would have been clueless.
Send them to the restroom? How many of you would want to have your meals in a public restroom? I'm guessing no one would volunteer. And, like someone else said, mothers absolutely have to multi-task. If she has 3 other children, all of them with her, should she have to drag them all to the restroom, too? After all, it isn't anyone else's responsibility to watch them while she's feeding the baby.
Mothers, especially those with newborns, have so little sleep one might wonder how those women can stand on their own. Add in household duties, a job outside the home, and every spare second devoted to the needs of the children. Hot meals? Forget it. Everyone else eats before mothers do. This woman was probably just thankful for her $.99 burito in the few minutes she had to sit and eat.
