Here are the results. (If you would like to fill in the survey you can still do so, either at http://www.studholme.net/child/news0107.html or by e-mailing January's newsletter with your replies. Thanks very much if you have the time to do this.) I'm pleased to say that all of the respondants were very or fairly interested in Events for the under-fives, News, Special Offers and Reviews of play centres. Over 70% liked the "What's new at the website" section and the book reviews. 60% were interested in ideas to raise funds for your groups and 40% were very or fairly interested in the adverts. Nobody was "not at all interested in the adverts". The current mix of items in the newsletter seems therefore to suit most people - let us know if you disagree. We had most replies from people living in Staffordshire, closely followed by those in Derbyshire. Cheshire and Nottinghamshire were also represented plus one family from Middlesex who often visit Staffordshire. __________________________________________________________ News and Events --------------- To announce your event, or children related news here, e-mail jill@studholme.net or fill in the form at http://www.studholme.net/child/news.html It's free and reaches our 565 subscribers. Plus the newsletters are available on the web site for our monthly 3000 visitors to read.

There were fears surrounding the possible toxic damage from eating fish during pregnancy but this study seems to be saying that is a minor problem compared with the major benefits children get from fish. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6361253.stm UK Bottom of Table of Children's Well-Being The UK has been accused of failing its children, as it comes bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrialised countries. One of the report's authors said that under-investment and a "dog-eat-dog" society were to blame for Britain's poor performance. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6359363.stm Breastfeeding good for mothers Breastfeeding is well known to boost an infant's health, and now it seems it may be good for the mother as well. Those who had spend at least two years (!) of their lives breastfeeding were 19 per cent less likely to suffer a heart attack than those who hadn't breastfed at all. Benefits however are thought to occur for mothers who breastfeed for at least 3 months. http://www.newscientist.com/ If you would like to read this news as it happens, without waiting for this newsletter, then grab our newsfeed from http://www.studholme.net/child/newsfeed.html It's free and instantly updates you with the latest news and events via e-mail, your web site or any news feed reader. ___________________________________________________________ Copyright studholme.net, 2007 You are welcome to copy or forward any part of this newsletter, but please include this copyright notice and web address - http://www.studholme.net/child/ Previous editions of this newsletter are archived at http://www.studholme.net/child/news.html
