Do what makes you feel comfortable...if you don't feel that the meeting is

meeting your needs (hehehehe) then don't go. This is for you, for no one

else. Do what you need to do!

-- Am I being a fuddy duddy?

I joined WW about 3 weeks ago and am following the plan to the

letter. The only problem is that I am not staying for my meeting. I

go and weigh in. At the first meeting was a woman who came with her

baby. I have no problem with the baby. I do have a problem with her

popping out a breast during the meeting! It is a 30 minute meeting

and the baby was not fussing. Am I wrong for feeling this way? My

schedule is tight and there aren't any other centers close by. I feel

cheated by not staying for the meetings. Am I wrong to feel this way?

I think that this is a situation that requires some tact on the part of both

parties (not that I'm suggesting that she was anything but tactful). Some

people do not feel comfortable watching another woman breastfeed and I

believe that the woman should be cognizant of that and cover with a light

blanket or sit near the back during the feeding. I don't think she needs to

leave, by any means (although my personal issue WOULD be a baby at a meeting

but I won't go into that). I just think a little discretion would be wise

simply in an effort to be aware of other people's feelings.
