RE: [ozmidwifery] I need to vent!!!

Sounds like the same one we were opposite at last year’s expo here in Adelaide Kelly and yes, they even have a cute cuddly bear that gives out the freebies to the kiddies…perhaps you need to organize a breastfest sit in for an hour a day, get all the mum’s you can to gather around and sit on the floor and feed their babies, letting everyone know what’s really important when it comes to nutrition!  Put signs up on the back of toilet doors, give out handouts, you’ll be surprised by how many women will gather around for something that’s specified to happen at a certain time!   Good luck   Tania   From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of Kelly @ BellyBelly Sent: Thursday, 19 October 2006 9:22 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: [ozmidwifery] I need to vent!!!   I’m going to be at the Melbourne Pregnancy, Babies and Children’s Expo in Melbourne starting tomorrow, and who else is my stand next to but…. Karicare! I felt so angry the whole time setting up today - I have a really bad feeling they are going to be giving out toddler milk samples, ready to drink – on the stand they have one of those drink dispensing machines with the clear plastic tops with a mixer inside it, you know like when you go to those ice-cream shops and they have slushies or juice in them swishing around? GrRRrrRrr! I hope I am wrong but they always hand out samples anyway. The marketing plastered all over the massive stand just infuriates me... for mums who nutrition is important to them! It’s firing me up and I am not even there yet!!! I don’t want to even look at them tomorrow…   Kelly Zantey   -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
