The issue is not with the person feeding but with the one who is offended.
So instead, I don't really see a problem with asking the person complaining to cover their head so they don't have to look. In fact, if someone is offended by gay people, they could do the same. Personally I'm hugely offended by nose picking, but I just don't look.
I've said this before - but the post was deleted, KLM Reservations/Social Media team is not based in the Netherlands and so could explain this "uninlightened" and clearly accidental tweet.
Complete supporter of a mum feeding her kids, mine were breast fed and will jump in on side of a mum always. Mums want to be discreet because it is tiring on them plus they may get baby to sleep at the same time.
