I suspect they're just good actors. They're probably wondering how you can stick her as well. Nothing worse than a precocious brat whose mother encourages her to be the centre of attention.

It doesnt bother me personally but a workplace is a workplace. Some people find it very distracting and some people find it very uncomfortable. You should not put people in that position.
I walked into the staff common room a couple of times to get a cup of tea and there was an employee (on maternity leave) breast feeding her kid there.
Very awkward!

Was he being breast fed at the time?

I don't see why this is awkward. Many women will breastfeed discretly in public places - shouldn't be any fuss or drama involved. It's just a breast - it's not going to bite you.
On the broader issue, I did find it very difficult to deal with a constant flow of new babies into the office at a time when we were going through fertility issues and IVF. I remember having to hide in the loo at one stage.
Having said that, I wouldn't expect anyone to hold back for that reason, and I did bring our own into the office at one stage.
Best of luck with that Complainer. Most people don't appreciate the emotional impact the times it doesn't work. Indeed, it is an extremely emotional time for both parents and very physically hard on the mother.
