Hi Everyone,

Firstly I would like to say that I have asked for permission to post my research plea! I am mum to Josh, fourteen months and a student studying for a PhD looking into early childhood feeding.

I am looking for pregnant mums ? both first and second time (or more!) to take part in a study looking at your experiences of pregnancy so far, thoughts about the future and any decisions made about breast or formula feeding.

I know from experience that pregnancy can be a very emotional time and feelings about the future and any decisions made can sometimes be sensitive, but the study is in no way judging anybody?s opinions or experiences and isn?t there to criticize or suggest there is a right or wrong way of feeling. I am doing the research in order to hopefully help inform midwives and health visitors in the future about the experiences mums have during pregnancy so they can help new mums feel as positive as possible make the choices that are right for them and their baby.

The study is completely voluntary and all answers will be kept confidential. It simply involves completing a questionnaire and should take around 20 minutes. Everyone who takes part will be entered into a draw to win High street shopping vouchers -a main prize of £30 and two of £10 each. If you would like to take part please email me at [email protected] and I can provide some more information about the study.

Thank you for your time Amy x
