My mother always told me that you can't please or like every single person you meet-- this includes mother-in-laws. It's very easy to feel irritated by someone who is a constant factor in your and your fiance's life but for the sake of your relationship and your upcoming marriage, it may be wise to take her comments with a grain of salt. This doesn't mean that if she crosses the line and blatantly disrespects you that you have to suck it up, but pick your battles-- she'll be around for a while and will always be his mother.
Regarding breastfeeding, millions of mothers breast feed and this should not be personalized to her. Breast milk is the best source of food for infants and it would be a shame to let your disdain for someone get in the way of what is best for YOUR children. So, let this thought ease its way out of your head-- she did not create breastfeeding.
I wish you the best in your relationship with her and hopefully once you move out and you see less of her you'll be able to tolerate her a little better.
