Hi Heather,
That is what I thought. Thanks very much.
BTW the UK infant feeding survey may not be perfect but it is 100x better than what we have in Aust!

There's an understandable resistance, I think, from the research body to change what is actually asked, as the survey is so well-established and there are sound reasons for asking the same Qs each time. Wish we could turn back the clock and ask extra ones and different ones, personally - though we are all grateful we have this survey because it is very useful to inform policy and for local programmes to have something to compare with.
