It is certainly OK for you to use them -- however I would recommend getting info about the breastfeeding program that ww has. You want to make sure that you are eating more (You get extra points) because you don't want to eat too little and jeopardize your milk supply!

Any meeting place can give you the info or I'm sure you can find it on the weight watcher's website -- they have a message board there for moms.

yes, if you do the point system you jusy add a few extra points for example, I was alloowed 20 points regularly, but when I BF'd I was allowed 30!

I did jenny craig while nursing and did great - you just have to take in more calories, and they have plans for that as I'm sure ww does.
