It's possible that the breast was a CGI creation. The shot of the horses head being cut off was CGI. Also, the shots of some of the castles off in the distance is probably a CGI creation. It's possible they could be minatures (or bigatures depending on how you look at it.) It's also possible that the scene was shot using split screen. This is how I would do it. It's cheaper and pretty easy.
TV and movies have used similar techniques for years. For instance, a film like the original Parent Trap. The same actress was shot twice and then the scenes were superimposed to look as if she was acting with another actress. All they would have to do is shoot the scene with a real breast and then shoot it with the kid. Could have shot the kid on a green screen sucking a bottle and then removed it in post.
I have no idea how it was done, I just doubt anybody would let their child suck on the breast of a real woman at that age, or a fake boob for that matter. If anybody has actual proof of how it was shot, I'd love to hear it.
