National infant feeding survey

[Little Chicken]

Just wondering if anyone else is taking part and what they think of it.

Yeah I got selected too. I feel bad because I have to write 2 weeks for BF, LOL... oh well. I am happy to participate, if it helps eventually to encourage healthy choices for infant feeding.

I had to miss a huge chunk of it cause I got selected for my youngest who is only 2 months so no solids or other fluid yet. I thought it was great they asked about skin to skin and time to first breastfeed and all that.

Yep, i did mine today. It felt like a bit of a test really of how good a mum i was! Have to admit i started getting a bit defensive whilst taking it, I was desperate to write on there 'Yes, my 6 month old has had some formula, but only a handful of times because i didn't have enough expressed at the time, don't label me!'

Oh well, can't wait to see the results though!

Hi Feeb! I think the letter said the randomly selected people who had a person less then 2 on thier medicare card and you only filled it out for that child. Apparantly it's the first time a survey like this has been done in Australia. It's all about how you fed them, why, how did you make your decision etc.
