Jennifer Fegan-Szala, a doula and certified professional midwife from upstate New York, is looking for mothers to complete a survey for her midwifery degree thesis.
It's not the happiest topic in the world: the correlation between infant feeding choices and childhood sexual abuse (as in the mother having a history thereof, not the feeding choices causing abuse). I assume—though like a good reseacher, she doesn't say—that her hypothesis is that those with a history of abuse might be more likely to avoid breastfeeding.
In any case, it seems like it's a good question to be asking, and it's a short, easy survey. She wants to hear from bio moms who both do and don't have a history of abuse, and who made any range of feeding choices, so the field is fairly wide open. Click a few boxes for (social) science!
