They do need to be fed there and then. Do you think women would get up several times in the middle of the night if their babies didn't need to be fed then? And do you think women enjoy unbuttoning their shirts in public to breast feed their babies, especially when people come up to them and accuse them of being rude and inappropriate? Of course, they don't, but they do it anyway because it's necessary.

Three year olds are usually at the stage where they can wait and don't need to be fed all the time. But most children aren't breastfed after the age of 2, so I don't see how that point is relevant?
