Basically, the show is making fun of people who believe that and illustrating the absurdity of that belief.

Yeah that! If you watch the show enough you know that Peter saying that was lactivism. He is always saying offensive, ignorant things, because he is really ignorant and naive.
I didn't see the episode the OP was talking about (I missed TV last night, too busy) I assume it was new.
The best one yet is the one where Lois tried to wean Stewie because he was getting teeth and kept biting her. It opens with him coming up to her and saying "Open your shirt woman, I'm hungry." Anyway, he goes on to be like a junkie trying to get off smack and does anything he can to get breastmilk. He actually attacks a nursing mom in the park, and sneaks into Lois' room with a breast pump at night. Then finally when he has kicked the habit she tells him that she changed her mind because she missed the bonding of breastfeeding. He tries to resist but gives into the stuff. You can just tell by the way he is drawn while nursing that either the writers or the illustrators know what a breastfeeding baby looks like.
Oh, and there is also another one there where Stewie was having a "sexy party" and he sang this song about "Welcome to my sexy party, have a breastmilk with a dash of bacardi." DH had that as his cell phone ring tone for a while.
I love the episode where Stewie is so desperate for breastmilk he sneaks into Lois's room in the middle of the night and pumps her breasts.
