How do you accommodate a breast-feeding crew member?
Delay the flight?
Divert?
Call out a reserve to depart on time and then pay protect the entire missed 4-day?
That said I'm OK with cockpit breast-feeding in cruise, and don't think male pilots should have the option of denying that based on religious, moral, or personal comfort... it's a natural and necessary biological function and the lav is definitely not the place to do it.
