FWIW, I don't think being uncomfortable around breastfeeding is necessarily a hangup about boobs. As others have said, it's a pretty intimate moment between a mother and child and unless I knew the person in question personally and very well, I'm not entirely sure I wouldn't be weirded out by someone trying to have a casual conversation with me over their nursing baby. I've never had anyone try, though, so who knows how I would react.
I have coworkers who regularly pump at their desks near my desk, so I don't think that's because of a boob or milk hang up. I think it's more of a familiarity thing. If I don't know you, that's not really a moment I want to be close to. It's different than someone discretely breastfeeding in the same public space I'm in, which really doesn't bother me. Not that I would go off on anyone or anything, but you know... people feel what they feel.
And if a woman was being really HEY LOOK AT ME I'M BREASTFEEDING HEAR ME ROAR it would bug the crap out of me, but not because of the breastfeeding itself.

But again, it's not something I lose sleep over or anything...
This was just something on my mind from this lady at work. I honestly didn't realize it was such a controversial topic *hides*
