I agree with Kathleen. When I heard this I wondered where she was taking these babies to
nurse them.  How could she possibly snatch these babies from their strollers and latch
them on without the mothers snatching them right back?  If someone took *my* baby from
her stroller without my permission, they would more to worry about than getting them on
the breast.  Did these mothers let this woman hold their babies and then they were put
to her breast or did she really snatch them up without permission?  I can't imagine
trying to put someone else's baby to my breast and actually latch them on while in a
hurry, the baby didn't want to, the mother was screaming, whatever...  Plus what
bottle-fed baby is actually going to latch on willingly when we have so much trouble
with the breastfeeding babies who won't :-).
