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 :)

Me too.

Royal I think it depends on the degree, my dissertation had to be based on an original piece of social research and then written up with reference to established research. God I'm almost having a panic attack just thinking about it!

Thanks everyone that's amazing!!

It's a psychology degree so I have to find previous research and then carry out my own.

I will be in touch with questionnaires!

:D
