NOW CLOSED: Have you had a baby in the last 3 years? Please complete a short survey about cord care for Huggies® - you could win a £250 JL voucher

[AnnMumsnet]

We have been asked by Huggies® to find out your views on and experiences with your newborn baby's umbilical cord.

Huggies® has launched a new feature on its Newborn size one nappies which will help parents to care for their little one's umbilical cord. Midwifery expert Nikki Khan says: "Cord care is often a surprise to new mums and something they perhaps had not considered until the arrival of their baby. Huggies® has launched a great innovation - it is such a simple change but will make a huge difference for new mums."

Huggies® would like to how know you coped with the cord, what advice you were given on caring for it, and any issues which arose.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. It is open to all Mumsnetters in the UK who have had a baby in the last three years.

Everyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £250 John Lewis voucher.

If you have had more than one baby, please think about your most recent baby when completing the survey, as Huggies® want to hear about your most recent experiences.

Thanks and good luck.

DS was a massive baby and the MW was very excited about the cord/placenta. It was 'exemplary' apparently she said it was a shame no students were around to see it.

Also done. I neeeeeeed that JL voucher

The question about 'were you surprised how fragile it seemed' made me laugh somewhat. I was more surprised at how tough and gnarly it looked, like a piece of electrical flex.

Arf Fuzzpig, that's one for his CV! :o

Well, I filled it out but not sure it counts as my son's cord was cut off by SCBU staff so they could put a line in his belly button. Which I said in the survey.

Feel free to disqualify me....although I could really use the vouchers. [hgrin]

Done, can I have the vouchers now? [hgrin]

Tee2072 - that's fine and partly why we left an open box as well. All experiences count

Oh good Ann. Then I'll win, right? [hwink]

I think I did it, went to homepage after so not sure

Done. Please let me win - fridge is on it's last legs!!!

I left Q6 blank cos it didn't apply to me. We didn't cut the cord and therefore didn't have a clamp

Have completed the survey.

Is a specific product really required?

We were told to leave the cord alone until the clamp was removed and then we just cleaned it as part of the normal washing routine. I never really gave it a thought. I didn't feel that a specific product was needed with either of my babies.

done.

Done - fingers crossed...

Why do they want to know if you kept the clamp?
There are no questions about how you felt about the cord (i.e. squeamishness)

Done.

Done! Would love to win and buy new white underwear for me and cake in their lovely cafe!
