We will invite one parent, usually whoever spends the most time with the baby, to complete an interview, usually done in person with an interviewer.
We will ask the other parent to complete a separate shorter interview. This interview is shorter as we only need to ask some questions once per baby or household. These interviews will be done online, in person and sometimes by telephone.
We don’t only want to interview mums! It’s just as important that we hear from dads. This is so we get a full picture of the babies’ lives and can learn about fathers’ experiences of parenthood too. We’d like interview all parents, whether or not they are living with their baby all the time.
