Seriously!
My sister is a private person so she always used the mother's lounge. But, she would find people chatting and they wouldn't leave. She even had someone come in while she was breastfeeding. It was a man using the mother's lounge to extend the calling. He was surprised someone was in there but he DIDN'T LEAVE. The person being extended the calling was shocked and didn't know what to do (she was in YW's).
I also remember going off to use the mother's lounge during sacrament meeting only to find kids from the other ward playing around in there instead of going to class. I, not being shy, asked for a seat and once I started getting ready to whip out that boob those girls left. LOL! But not everyone is like me.
I preferred nursing the lounge because they have nice comfy chairs and arm rests which makes breast feeding far more comfy than in the pews.

I've also nursed in class during Sunday School (I always try to sit in the very back corner) and Relief Society, because you can't hear those lessons in the Mother's Lounge. All of my small babies have been very frequent nursers, so if I've wanted to get *anything* out of my Sunday meetings during those first six months, then my only option was to nurse in class/Sacrament meeting.

Amen! I had to feed my kiddo frequently too and sometimes I really didn't want to miss a great lesson so I'd feed the kiddo in the back.
