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.
I got a letter last week to say my survery is coming. So I'll report back when I've done it.
Got it yesterday, haven't opened it yet! Will fill it out, sounds like I will be skipping a lot of it too since Ds is so young.
I got it today, I havent opened it yet
Ohhh how did you get go be part of this??
I got it too, just need to post it back. I think most people are getting it lol
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.
i got mine and filled it out straight away. i would have liked a comment part but as my bub is older at least i was able to fill out most of it.
was so stoked to be selected! we never get picked for that sort of thing. lol
I liked the fact I could do it online, however it's a shame they didn't ask which method was preferred as they could have saved a heap of printing and paper!
I'm glad I could take part and look forward to the results. Did anyone notice the Q about your child drinking any other fluids inc. alcohol in the list? That suprised me
Ohh ok thanks for that, ohh disapointed I didnt get one now :-( I love surveys LOL:
aww I didn't get one either, would love to take part.
:o to the alcohol!
It would have been better if you could fill it out for your other kids too, eg. what they did between 0 & 2, when they stopped BF or FF, etc
I don't think it was detailed enough, however DS is on BF at this stage so I didn't have much to fill out, so maybe it could have had something along the lines of "when do you think you will start solid food?", etc
Got mine today, pretty disappointed as it only took 5 minutes to complete. But it was a good survey I thought.
I think it will be great if they can use the results to tailor research and education into specific areas of need
Hmm i'm not home for the week, wonder if i got anything in the mail ????
I haven't received anything but am hoping that I do... which means that I will probably not LOL
How come Im not involved?
The letter says people have been chosen at random with children under 2 on their medicare card, so it's not everyone
and if you were selected they sent you a letter and some information before you got the survery (a week apart mine were). so i'd say if you ain't got your letter you ain't on the list.
Hope they're selecting a wide range of ages, in the mothers.....
i also got one; i think they needed either a further comments section....or something asking how well you were supported by your hospital for bf....
