Yes, but sometimes fulfilling your role (male or female) ,unless it's unavoidable, doesn't mean slapping it out in public. A little decorum is called for sometimes. And as this child was seventeen months old I assume it has gone on to solids quite some time ago and the breast is more of a comfort than sustenance. Therefore, I think the mother might have waited until she'd left the pool before giving in to her child's demands.
