448. The way I see it
(hell, a thousand other people have already weighed in on this, I might as well join the party)

See, there's three things that have to be considered here. A kid that age may not actually still be regularly nursing, but there are three advantages to doing so on an airplane: 1) keeps the kid quiet, 2) keeps the kid's ears from causing him pain, and 3) comforts the kid. All of those reasons, to my way of thinking, trump any considerations of personal squeamishness. I don't care if she strips to the waist and bares all, so long as Junior is happy and quiet. Flying is unpleasant enough without an unhappy youngster screaming in pain. Anything that makes that easier on all of us is a good thing.

Most of the mothers I know quit nursing when Junior started chewing, but different kids start chomping at different ages. And teeth come in at different ages, too.
