I went back to the health club when my babies were 4 months old.  Is this 
woman trying to stay that breastfeeding moms shouldn't be allowed to work out at 
the gym.  I brought my babies with and used the health club nursery.  95% of 
gyms do have nurseries and I haven't found one that was not breastfeeding 
friendly.  I teach aerobic classes and work at many clubs, they knew to call on me 
if my baby needed to nurse.

Maywood -- The obvious question to ask the mom who complained about being 
asked by management of a health club to breast feed her baby elsewhere is why 
would she take her child to a place where people come to work out ("Right to 
breastfeed," Voice of the people, Nov. 29)? Dues-playing members do have a right 
to resent her imposing on their turf.

The irate mother suggests that the offended people get over it, but the same 
suggestion could be made to her.
