This whole thread would indicate that you can criticise. There are good moral and health reason why women should breastfeed or pump as and when they need to, it's not like they are doing it for fun. I think there are many worse problems to be found on board your average flight, and if you are really bothered the most mature thing to do is ask the CC politely if you can be moved.
