No one likes sitting and opening gifts in front of people. But it's not real about her being the center of attention, it's about people wanting to see their gifts admired or appreciated. It's part of saying thank you.
That being said I've been at a shower where the mom just opened gifts while people were still up and mingling and was more laid back about it. That could work fine. I do agree that if it is an all women shower the expectations might be greater. If she does the display route she should go around to everyone and thank the. For their gift at the shower which IMO seems like way more work when you have a baby in tow!
Sorry she is being difficult! Maybe you could just open the presents for her while she nurses haha.

I haven't been to a baby shower where gifts weren't opened but I did attend a wedding shower where they weren't and it was awesome. More time to socialize with others rather than sitting and watch someone open a blender. My mom threw a fit when I suggested it so I get that some wouldn't like it but I am all for it!

Personally i dont think its a big deal. I wouldnt mention it on the shower invitation.
