Shame on Medela


I am very disappointed with the Medela company. They have stolen a recipe word-for-word from the blog I write for WhyClothDiaper.com. 
The recipe was originally posted on the website here- http://www.whyclothdiaper.com/2011/09/04/pumpkin-nut-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-lactation-cookies/ . Now Medela has posted the EXACT recipe on their Facebook page in their notes section here- http://www.facebook.com/notes/medela/pumpkin-nut-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-lactation-cookies/10150360539159668 
NOWHERE do they give credit to Christina Stainbrook as the true author and nowhere do they give credit to Whyclothdiaper. It is sad and I personally will not be purchasing any products from them and would really appreciate if you would do the same. Large companies like this think it is okay to walk on the little people like Christina and it isn't.

    I am happy to report after about an hour of outraged momma postings, Medela has cited a source for their recipe :)

    Hi Tara - Thank you for the update. We apologize for the mistake and have edited the note to include the original author and source. We appreciate mommy bloggers for all that they do and always intend to credit the author. If you have further questions, we're available at social@medela.com. Thank you.
