Highly regional / generational.

Also, I’m not sure how much of the hullabaloo about breast feeding in public is about the breast, and how much is about the idea that women with children should be at home, under the guise of it being about the breast. It could be more sexism than Puritanism.

I don't think the sexism is separable from the Puritanism. The sexism built in to the religion and in the practitioners of it are reinforcing each other

...outside of extremely remote areas I don't think anyone in modern US culture would express distaste about a mom being out with children. You see women with infants in wine bars, etc.
