You turned it there. It isn't other passengers discomfort with it, it is the breastfeeders issue. He isn't saying "I won't sit next to a breastfeeding baby". The cover-up or bathroom option is to address the breastfeeders 'head-trash', not anyone elses.
Soooo, what if there are more babies than bassinets? Do you have to wait for a later flight? If a bassinet isn't a requirement- if it is possible to fly with a baby without a bassinet, there shouldn't be requirement for people to move. The bassinet is a convenience, not a necessity then.
