I should have made myself more clear. I am sorry. I meant buckled up in their 
carseats in a separate seat from their parent. (Yes, I know it means 
purchasing antoher seat on the plane. I too have flown extensively overseas 
with nursing babies and toddlers, as I have a foreign-born husband.)

Yes, what the airline did to this mother is inexcusable. However, when I 
posted there was some uncertainty as to whether she was actually asked to 
stop breastfeeding or asked to take the baby out of the sling.
