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]

Sounds like a room full if vampires waiting to rip me apart.

In fact she probs places herself in front of the menu board, sits on the counter even - then bitches about people looking at her feeding her baby from her breast.

She'll be feeding on Holly and Philip's couch any day now if it all goes to plan.

Breast feeding on early morning TV! It's times like this I wish Richard and judge were still on. Can you imagine Richard sitting across from a breast feeding Victoria!

Judy NOT jury though come to think about it

I have spent some time perusing said spa's facebook page

(I am bored, don't judge me :( )

I can't really take it seriously and especially when people are posting pictures of sleeping children attached to their breasts...I mean we all know what they are for but I don't need a close up of your Montgomery Glands

I can't take it seriously either. Scrolling scrolling scrolling GIANT CLOSE UP OF A NIPPLE and scrolling scrolling scrolling.

I feel for the children in the pictures, what if DM picks it up for a sad face article uses the pictures....Timmy is going to love that when he's 14...the day his mum's nipple was in a national newspaper and his sleeping face next to it

its so cringe worthy...

Victoria, it was very unfair of you to try to damage this business in the way you have.
And then to delete the posts which show you have a history of complaining against businesses? That further discredits you.

The fairest way forward, is for you to publicly apologise.

'For those who are uninformed breastfeeding at 1 is not only recommended but it aids nutrition, soothing and attachment'

Since we can't be mansplaining, is this breastsplaining? This sounds like Ryan Giggs trying to tell us all that Quorn is a "tasty alternative to meat". Which it is. We just didn't need Manchester United's Ryan Giggs to tell us.

While I'm giggling at the OP, and while I was very mistrustful and have said so on the other thread, if events 1 and 2 on TheOther12's post happened as TheOther12 said they did, then that is not acceptable.

Montgomery glands?!

Anyway agreed, the whole thing is ridiculous.

For those who are uninformed breastfeeding at 1 is not only recommended but it aids nutrition, soothing and attachment

Op doesn't know MN at all, does she. She made the mistake lots make in thinking MN is full of uneducated people who knowing nothing. We are actually very clued up & very aware of a lot of things.

Your opening post is very patronising.

This is the thread that keeps on giving.....

Very good points toriap

I doubt you'll get answers though. The OP seems to have disappeared.

Darn it! Took me all night to think of that!

What a load of old shit.

The complaints on the CF page seem to have stopped now (although have not been deleted)

Does anyone know whether VL is also commenting on her own page I need someone to pm me the link or has she also piped down?

She has been incredibly silly and I hope she has learnt something from this experience but the personal attacks that are still continuing against her business are becoming a bit much.

I know, I know - she actively encouraged others to try and destroy the business reputation of CF which is a bloody vile thing to do but maybe it's best to now let things lie (if she's willing to do the same?)

VL - if you're reading this - perhaps think about messaging those people who left 1* reviews for CF and seeing if you can get them removed? Because surely by now you must realise that you are wrong?

my capability for fairness and reasonableness surprises even me sometimes

People also seem to be under the impression that Victoria started a level of online witch hunt against the venue. We had no intention of anything going up onto open social media at all, especially not until we had achieved a much clearer understanding of our legal position

So why did she ask others to go to their page & 'voice their opinion' on the matter?

All that occurred at that time was that she asked advice from a closed Facebook group and one or two close friends. No, she didn't do that! She used her PUBLIC facebook page to ask people to stir up a shit storm & then started backtracking when it went against her.

I think the most prominent posts on the cedar falls page now seem to be from MN'ers.

Both businesses have increased their visibility.

As long as this story doesn't spread to other media as an example of 'the breastfeeding mafia', no harm done.

your confusion as to her business is understandable. I'm still baffled and I have been on her facebook. But there must be a market!

reusable non fairy dust sprinkled (imagine the rubbing) sanpro is quite popular. However, I hate the twee 'fairy hammocks, moon pads whatever twee words' names they give them. They are pantiliners. I don't have fairies in my pants, therefore do not need fairy hammocks!!

Now confused if the fairy dust is pantiliners what is the purpose of pants?

Sounds like either Mr V is lying or Mrs V has totally fibbed to her dh over what she did and he's fallen for it hook line and sinker. If its the latter I'd be bloody furious if I were him as she's made him look a right idiot.
