I don't really think babies come much into why breasts are considered sexy, though. I think it's more the womanliness and shape and stuff. Although they do imply health and fertility.
But we have got to get over being weirded out by breastfeeding. It's such an amazingly important thing, and it should be completely normal for us, and every woman who can should be supported so she feels able to choose breastfeeding. No one should ever have to stop breastfeeding because of external pressure. Some people can't, and that's fine, but it shouldn't be an unnecessary struggle for those who can, and it definitely is in a lot of western cultures.
I have strong feelings about this!
