NANCY, SISTER TILLY, THEIR MUM VICTORIA AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO ARE ALL IN THE STUDY!
“When I was approached by Children of the 90s on one of my maternity visits I knew immediately that I wanted to take part, and to this day, I’m really glad that I did!” Junko, original study mum
“I’m so glad my mum signed up to Children of the 90s all those years ago! I’ve loved being involved in the study as a focus child and have really felt the benefit of being able to observe my own health as I grew up whilst contributing to such an impactful study. Happy 30th birthday to Children of the 90s and thank you for enriching our lives with the extra dimension of fun and knowledge. Many happy returns!” Hannah, original Child of the 90s
Another talked about the gender stereotypes – and how restrictive they can be:
“Personally I really wanted to do the feeds overnight and feel like I was taking an active role. Similarly, regarding childcare, I wish it were more financially viable for me to cut my hours at work to have days off with my daughter rather than my wife shortening her hours.”
