Breastfeeding in Literature

I'm currently reading a book from the a trilogy called The Nightrunner Series by Lynn Flewelling called Stalking Darkness. Ive read 4 of her books previously which i borrowed from the local library's & i LOVE them all so far.

Anyway, while reading this book i came across a couple of paragraphs where a woman breastfeeding is mentioned, you just don't seem to come across this much anymore. On TV soaps women are almost always bottle feeding & i don't remember any other fiction books Ive read that even does so much as mention breastfeeding. So i thought id share the passage with you all:

The door between the kitchen and landing room was open. Through it he could see
Cillia serenely nursing Luthas in the middle of the dinnertime bustle, sorting
through a basket of apples with her free hand as she did so. The baby sucked
greedily, tugging at the lacing's of her open bodice. Her exposed breast throbbed
gently with the rhythm of his demand.

then a couple of paragraphs down:

"Could you hold the baby a minute before you go?" she asked, pulling Luthas off
the nipple and holding him up. "My arm'll break if i don't shift over." Taking
the child, Alec held him while Cillia moved her baskets and uncovered her other
breast. It was swollen with milk; a think stream jetted from her nipple as she
moved. Alec was close enough to see the pearly drops that fell across the deep
red skins of the apples. He looked away, feeling dizzy. Luthas let out a sleepy
burp and nuzzled at the front of Alec's cloak. "The way he eats, you'd think I'd
not have a drop to spare, but just look at me!" Cillia exclaimed merrily, taking
the child back and putting him to breast on the other side. "Maker's Mercy, Ive
got more milk than Grandmother's goat".

What emotions do these words illicit in you? I bet some people may think that parts of the passages almost sound pornographic (definitely not "that" type of book i can assure you). Its sad that breastfeeding isn't considered the "norm" any more, seeing a woman breastfeeding in public always seems to provoke some responce, whether it is "YAY - its fab to see someone breastfeeding in public" "ohhh, how sweet" or "Boobs!!!...don't look!!!" or "OMG - is that woman breastfeeding?!?", ideally we would just walk past without a second thought, just simply viewing it as the normal thing to do, as if you were strolling past a toddler drinking water from a cup - why should breastfeeding be viewed any different, it is after all the most natural way to nourish a baby.
