To want to set the record straight about the Cedar Falls Nurse In

[Mamagiraffe]

I am organising the peaceful protest OUTSIDE THE GATES of Cedar Falls. The protest is not taking place because Victoria tried to take an under 16 to an age-restricted place expecting special treatment it is because the spa have cancelled her booking rather than allowing her to make alternative arrangements. Whatever has happened in the past is immaterial and I am horrified by the muck-raking and bullying instigated here last night. I, personally, do not condone the online attack on their Facebook page but that is of course up to the individual., I have also requested members of the event to remove any they may have already posted but I have no power to do so. For those who are uninformed breastfeeding at 1 is not only recommended but it aids nutrition, soothing and attachment- for Victoria's child they may or may not have required a feed during this weekend but provision needed to be in place to facilitate this and it would be unfair for the child not to ensure this is possible, this does not mean that a nursing mother must be sequestered away from living a normal adult life for the duration. The rights regarding discrimination is to protect the right of the breastfeeding mother to do so. I won't be returning here to fight the fight but as MNHQ deleted the last thread I have had to start my own to give you my own twopence'th if anybody wants to contact us for more information the email address is [email protected]

Aibu is the most interested but so far. Think someone once sent me to some technology bit. A lot if the other bits are very quiet. ( have been exploring mn and now returned)

For sure,aibu is best bit mn.funny,raucous,and random aibu,has it's whiny detractors
But overall mnhq ignores their pleas fir aibu to be sprayed pink,made nice,and better mannered

Don't understand why you'd need to mention to CF that you were going to go out to a car park to feed a baby. Do they have guard towers or something?

londonrach - I meant feel sorry for her as she obviously has a sad life if this is all she does. Nor sorry as in she is a victim though obviously she thinks she is.

AIBU to be utterly bored of this now?

Lordy me. I have breastfed three children, the first two beyond toddlerhood, and the third is still going for the foreseeable future.

I have never felt the need to ask to feed them at Champneys Spa! If you don't want to leave your toddler to go to a place they're not permitted to be, you don't go! Simples! This gives breastfeeding mothers a bad name :(

Aibu to wonder why people bother posting on a thread they are utterly bored of?

I'm disappointed that nothing else seems to be happening on the internet about this now no more drama is going on. No daily fail sad face, no statement from CF. Boo!!!

Oops

Well, having feverishly tried to catch up on this 'story' (i thought it might go down in MN lore!) I can honestly say that this has to be the most dismally publicised nurse-in ever.

sienna yes!

Naaaaaaah.

I have a feeling it won't be the last of it.

This thread has kept me company during a marathon nursing session ;) can someone pm me the FB page, pretty please?

At last a minute to review... Wow going to have to tackle updates tomorrow now.

Just a quick question. did Mr Tie Dye, Sparkly, Fairy Dust Fanjango respond to anyone's questions?

Still can't believe DM hasn't picked this up. Well if the DM can't be arsed it shows what a rubbish story it is. Let's see what Loose Women is it called Loose Women have to say about it.

Knitted tampons you say? If you bought ten you could use them as fingers, a but like fingerless gloves - gloveless fingers. Genius.

In fact, you could buy a pair of standard gloves from the market, lop off the fingers, sell those tampons then sell the gloves as fingerless gloves with the option of adding on fingers providing you aren't on.

Or am I over thinking this?

Would someone mind pm-ing the link to the fb page to me please?!

can someone pm me the FB link too simply because I am nosey

Just got over to the cf facebook page and some of those comments-wow- just wow.

Whichever mn Sam is, respect and well done. Stand up and make yourself known here (namechange first obviously) so we can applaud.

Wow!

Yawwwwnnn, for feck sack will you folk please stop posting on this thread as I'm exhausted reading it. I fear I may have to go for addiction therapy! It's too fecking funny and I'm learning way yay too much about recycled fanny pads and will now look at every bf mother and think "are you victoria?"

Thanks harold
