Opt out of Ipsos Infant Feeding survey

Use this form if you do not want to be invited to take part in the Ipsos Infant Feeding survey.

Summary of the research study

The Infant Feeding Survey was conducted every five years between 1975 and 2010. The 2023 survey will be the ninth national survey of infant feeding practices. The survey will provide estimates on the incidence, prevalence, and duration of breastfeeding and other feeding practices adopted by mothers in the first year after their baby is born. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has commissioned Ipsos to run the Infant Feeding Survey 2023.

DHSC and Ipsos will be contacting more than 20,000 mothers who have recently given birth to take part in this survey.

If you are selected to take part, an invitation to complete a questionnaire will be sent to you when your baby is around 9-12 weeks old. If you complete the first questionnaire, and consent to further contact, you will receive a second questionnaire when your baby is around 4-6 months and a third when your baby is around 8-10 months.

You can request not to receive an invitation

If you've previously opted out of sharing your health data for planning and research purposes, by submitting a National Data Opt-out, you do not need to take any action. You will not be invited to take part in research by NHS Digital.

For everyone else, you can submit the form below if you do not want to be contacted as part of the Infant Feeding Survey.
