I thought about the same comment, but then also thought that maybe it was said in jest. 
The last thing ( me or ) my target group wants to see is an Anglo- married woman nursing 'discreetly'. 
Why not just put her in a big house with a servant and a long flowing white gown?  

 It is hard to find alternatives though to be sure. Mothering, Motherwear, HipMama and One Hot Mama are just a few where you can get some good alternatives.

I have the Hip Mama calendar in my office which is black and white photos with many ethnic groups and socioeconomic status women that are everything from punk rocker mamas, nature/hippie mamas, tattooed and pierced mamas, and young culturally eclectic women. Most are nursing, and many are nursing toddlers.  It is the absolute only set of nursing photos that gets attention ( positive) in my 'office'.
