I have heard of a woman who was walking the aisle breastfeeding and was asked to take her seat, but again, that would be a safety issue.

I find it hard to believe that an FA with any experience whatsoever would even suggest such a thing.
Based on this subsequent tweet, it sounds like she was told this by a phone rep, not a FA.
