Infant feeding survey

Have you given birth Bristol, North Somerset or South Gloucestershire within the last 3 years? Or did you give birth elsewhere and receive infant feeding support here? If so, the local NHS is asking for your ideas about infant feeding support.

The confidential survey is open until 22nd June. Sharing your experiences will help the NHS improve services for mothers and families.

Complete the survey

Better Breastfeeding, who have created this survey, are also running an infant feeding survey for staff and volunteers in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG).

Better Breastfeeding is working on behalf of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB to coproduce an infant feeding strategy for this area. They are conducting a survey through which staff and volunteers can share your experience of providing infant feeding support in BNSSG and about what you would like to see in an infant feeding strategy.

Who is the survey for?

The survey is for anyone who works in BNSSG - either as a professional or volunteer - in a role where they support mothers to feed their babies. This includes midwives, health visitors, community early years practitioners, peer supporters, breastfeeding counsellors, lactation consultants, maternity support workers, obstetricians, paediatricians, neonatologists, GPs, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, children's centre staff, speech and language therapists, dentists, urgent care staff - and anyone else whose role involves talking to mothers about baby feeding. It includes people working in the public or voluntary sectors or in private practice.

More information about the survey

We estimate that the survey will take 17 minutes to complete. It will be open for responses until Sunday 22nd June. The survey is anonymous. Your full response will only be seen by Better Breastfeeding researchers. Summary data and quotes may be shared with partner organisations or published in reports, but not in a way that could identify you.
