Leicester Mammas, in conjunction with Leicester City Council and Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, are conscious of the impact on families of the increase in the cost of living.
This survey is particularly looking at the impact on families of the cost of formula feeding. Baby feeding is a sensitive and complex subject, and it is important we understand as much as possible about how families with babies might be affected as finances are squeezed and costs go up.
If you are using formula milk more than just occasionally and live in Leicester City, please take a few minutes to complete our anonymous survey which is accessible here. It should take no more than five minutes.
If you have questions about the survey, please text Sally on 07580159278. If you have concerns about feeding your baby, you can speak to a Mammas peer supporter on 07794667791; you can speak to your health visitor or message ChatHealth.
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called Chat Health. The service operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health nurse (health visitor/school nurse) within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you’ll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens.
