This is not backbiting unless the other woman hats people to know that about her. Breast feeding is permissible in front of other women providing she is properly covered.

Is it BACKBITING if a muslim woman tells her “husband” and other sisters etc. about a sister she went to visit at a hospital that was BREASTFEEDING her newborn infant at a hospital. She told the breastfeeding mother that its forbidden to breastfeed in front of others. How true is this?
