Wirral Child Health and Development Study
Part 1
Hello again! We are very grateful to you for helping us with this important research. Your baby will be over 12 months old now. We want to ask you about what your baby is like, about their health over the past year, your health, family changes and your feelings recently. We are asking all the mothers in our study to do this to help us understand more about life after a first baby and how babies differ from each other as they develop. The questions we ask are not a test, so there are no right or wrong answers. Please just say how things really are for you now. When you have finished please put the form in the stamped addressed envelope provided and return it in the post to us. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS OR YOU NEED ANY HELP TO COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE PHONE US FREE ON 0800 0517597 AND WE WILL BE PLEASED TO HELP YOU.

Part 2
Phase 8: PART 2 Wirral Child Health and Development Study
Now we'd like to learn about your BABY's likes and dislikes.
All babies are different so we would like to learn from you a little more about your experience of your own baby so far ...
INSTRUCTIONS
As you read about each baby behaviour below, please tell us how often YOUR BABY did this during the LAST WEEK (the past seven days) by circling one of the numbers in the right hand column.
The “Does Not Apply” (X) column is used when you did not see the baby in the situation described during the last week. For example, if the situation mentions the baby having to wait for food or liquids and there was no time during the last week when the baby had to wait, circle the (X) column. “Does Not Apply” is different from “Never” (1).
“Never” (1) is used when you saw the baby in the situation but the baby never engaged in the behavior listed during the last week. For example, if the baby did have to wait for food or liquids at least once but never cried loudly while waiting, circle the (1) column.
