Helen Breastfeeding into toddlerhood and beyond: the experience of mothers and children A study of looking at the experiences of mothers and children of sustained breastfeeding is being conducted. If you live in Australia and are *currently* breastfeeding a child 2 years or older please consider requesting an information letter which will explain more about the background of the study and what is involved. Participants in the study are simply required to complete a survey that asks questions about their breastfeeding history, the breastfeeding history of their child, their feelings about breastfeeding an older child and aspects of the breastfeeding relationship. It also contains a small number of questions for mothers to ask their child. This is the first time that the viewpoint of the child as a member of the breastfeeding relationship has been considered. A summary of the findings will be available to all survey participants that indicate they would like this information. The instigator of this study is Dr Karleen D Gribble. Karleen is an Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Nursing, Family and Community Health, an Australian Breastfeeding Association Community Educator and mother to two children, both of whom breastfed for an extended period of time. The study has been approved by the Human Ethics Committee of the University of Western Sydney and the Australian Breastfeeding Association has given permission for participants to be recruited via the association. Please pass information on about this study to any who you believe may be interested in being involved.
