Hi mums,

I'm an undergratuate student and currently planning to do my dissertation around feeding of infants.

I myself currently BF my 4 week old daughter, but considered switching to bottle feeding at around 2 weeks due to PND and cracked nipples (ouchy!). When I thought about switching i felt a massive amount of guilt and felt looked down upon by health professionals and other people I know that are BF or have BF.
I also have noticed the whole public weird looks when BF around strangers.

While I was pregnant however I had a lot of people find it strange that I planned to BF and not bottle feed.

So basically I'm planning to do my dissertation on attitudes to breastfeeding and bottle feeding but I need lots of people to fill out questionnaires, and as this forum is for both breast and bottle I thought no better place to look!

Would anyone be interested in helping me out?

Thanks :)

Pretty sure if you post a questionnaire on here loads of people will fill it out as long as it isn't too long. (I've seen some have hundreds of responses).

Surveymonkey and other e-questionnaire sites are really useful for this kind of thing.

Good luck

Hi, I will be doing my dissertation soon, probably on a bf topic too, but I thought the research used had to be existing and not first hand?

I will do one for you tho!
