I've just started recruiting participants for a study that is looking at the experiences of mothers and children of breastfeeding beyond 2 years. 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. 

If anyone knows of any mothers who live in Australia (sorry everyone else!) who are *currently* breastfeeding a child 2 years or older and thinks they might be interested in the study, please pass on my email address ([log in to unmask]) and if they contact me I can send them a detailed information letter about the study so they can decide if they want to be involved. 

Thanks everyone!
