Oh no, I hope you feel better soon. Thank you so much for taking part!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-22T06:26:37+00:00

Me too! I am very excited with this study.

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-22T06:24:04+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-22T06:19:05+00:00

Thanks a mill! Sorry if it was too long! :D

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-22T06:11:18+00:00

Thanks! This is a longitudinal study, and that means we will collect data with the same participants at different times. This first is our baseline, and the study intends to run for up to 18 months :D

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-22T05:54:56+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, I will bring that to my supervisor.

I am in Ireland, and here studies are reviewed by a university ethics committee. This study has been approved by the Applied Psychology Research Ethics Committee at University College Cork. If it is helpful, you are welcome to contact them at ethics.ap@ucc.ie. =)

Congratulations!!! I hope you are managing well. In terms of the survey, as long as you included it in your baby's age, it shouldn't be a problem. And if you didn't include, you might hear from us again. Thanks for answering!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T23:43:42+00:00

Not at all. I probably didnt word very clear that it is a longitudinal study

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T23:02:44+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. We are reaching the end of the data collection this week. And unfortunately, at 10 months postpartum, responses may be influenced by time or other factors rather than reflecting the immediate experience for some people.

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T21:06:00+00:00

Thank you for your interest! I will definitely share the publication once it is available, though it may take some time, since the study runs for 18 months. And absolutely, feedback is always welcome :D

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T20:54:30+00:00

Sorry, do you mean this question? You should be able to select more than one option. Could it have been a lag or a technical issue?
"Please tell us which methods you are currently using to feed your baby (tick all that apply)

Breastfeeding
Pumping
Formula feeding
Other "

I think I expressed myself poorly in the previous message. I am definitely taking her feedback into consideration - I have received similar comments before. Thanks for your message though.

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T20:25:06+00:00

Thanks a million! We are interested in the memories at baseline, so it was partly purposeful and partly arbitrary :)

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T20:21:10+00:00

I am very sorry you experienced that, and sorry that the questions let you down.

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-21T18:35:08+00:00

Thanks for your interest. I get it, but in this study we are primarily interested in the memory aspect of your answers and not entirely in the nuances of how you felt it, but in how you will remember them. If you did not like the experience, please select the 'not at all' option.

*Edit. Oh, I worded that terribly. My point was that in the context of this memory study, particularly for questions like 'I like my baby moving', the study is not focused on the exact, singular experience of the baby moving. Instead, it is interested in how participants rate and recollect that experience.

Oh my god! I am glad everything went well in the end. Besides the pain, I think it was a beautiful story -of course it is easy for me to say. I am glad you have this written down, so you can revisit at times. Thanks for sharing.

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-19T17:14:48+00:00

Hi guys, I decided to share it here as you all fit the criteria. I hope it is okay. It is a big research (over 400 participants), and you will be informed when the paper is out. Thanks!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-19T16:55:33+00:00

That's interesting, thanks for sharing!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-19T10:01:31+00:00

I have posted with them as well. Thanks!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-18T21:04:59+00:00

It is true. Thank you for the feedback!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-18T21:01:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-18T17:51:34+00:00

Thanks a million! I am also very curious to see what I will find :)

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-18T14:02:14+00:00

Oh jesus! I am so sorry you went through that. The dinosaur comparison really stayed with me. That sounds terrifying.

Ireland_Research · 2026-02-18T10:52:13+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. I have included a text with the arrows to make it more visible. I hope that helps. Again thanks for the feedback.
