“…Mothers who were interested in being interviewed were asked to leave their details at the end of the survey. Due to 354 mothers expressing an interest in being interviewed, case selection was undertaken based on a simple, maximal variation sampling framework as described by Gray (2014). As the demographic profile of the mothers completing the initial online survey was narrow in terms of age, ethnicity and education, the sampling framework was based on mothers’ differing experiences and outcomes of bottle refusal information, which had been captured from the survey.…”

Why have a bottle when you can have draught? Exploring bottle refusal by breastfed babies

Bottle refusal by breastfed babies is a scenario that has received surprisingly little attention in the literature, given the number of mothers who appear to be experiencing it globally and the subsequent negative impact it can have. In line with this, we undertook a study to explore mothers' views on why their breastfed baby refuses to bottle feed. A parallel, two-stage, exploratory qualitative design was employed using 30 semi-structured interviews and 597 online forum posts. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis, and a biopsychosocial model was applied resulting in four overarching themes being identified: 'Breastfeeding is the answer to everything….' 'Bottle feeding: an alien concept… 'Babies are individuals' and 'Find the right bottle and don't delay'. The psychological benefits of breastfeeding, not inherent in bottle feeding, appeared to underpin some mothers' views on their baby's refusal. Other mothers explained refusal as being down to a baby's biological expectation to be fed by the breast; therefore, bottle feeding was not a normal concept to them. A baby's individual personality and temperament were also suggested as contributing to the scenario and refusal was linked to babies disliking a certain brand of bottle and being introduced to it 'too late'. This study's findings point to a complex, multifactorial picture underpinning bottle refusal by breastfed babies, which transcends physical, psychological and biological concepts, and is influenced by socio-cultural norms surrounding infant feeding. Recognition of these contributing factors is needed to aid those supporting mothers experiencing the scenario and, importantly, to underpin mothers' decision-making around managing it.

“…In the literature, these 'removed' options with children include work with 'in-country' research partners (Shahid, Mubin, Al Mahmud, Iftikhar, & Arshad, 2021) and packaging the design experience for a third party to deliver, for example with school teachers (Minoi et al, 2019;Yasir, Abid, & Shahzada, 2019). The difficulties with 'outsourcing' design in this way are generally associated with complexities in ensuring facilitators do not take on too much of the design work whilst understanding what is needed (Carroll, Chin, Rosson, & Neale, 2000), management issues around gathering together the research/ design data, and keeping motivation high (Frauenberger et al, 2011;Gray, 2021).…”

“…Likewise, I believe that constructivism is an appropriate epistemology for understanding and explaining what is known about migrant parenting experiences and maintaining children's health as it situates truth to be created by the subjects' interaction with the world. This view supports that truth is constructed and subjects can construct their own meanings around the same phenomenon in varied ways (Gray, 2018).…”

“…The previous chapter has shown a concerning need for support in sustaining This chapter considers the anti-essentialist perspective which underpins the study and justifies adopting TSF which provides guidelines for undertaking this study. The anti-essentialist viewpoints consider that a person's strands of identity at a particular time point collectively construct their reality in a social world (Gray, 2018;Serrant-Green, 2011). As such, it is important to not overlook voices at the margin of research discourses that represent different strands of identity.…”

“…"The Screaming Silences" conceptual approach, which informs TSF is underpinned by aspects of feminism, criticalist and ethnicity based approaches. These approaches are based on anti-essentialist viewpoints which accept that human beings in a particular context at a particular time point construct their reality in a social world (Gray, 2018;Serrant-Green, 2011). The framework recognises the central importance of individual or group interpretations of experiences in the construction knowledge (Serrant-Green, 2011).…”

Zimbabwean parents' experiences of bearing and raising children in the UK

Zimbabweans represent a growing population in the UK, yet little is known about their experiences of parenting once settled in the UK. Zimbabweans in the UK are currently a ‘silent subset’ of the broader migrant population, marginalised and relatively unheard, warranting further investigation into their parenting experiences. This study explored Zimbabwean migrant parents’ experiences of bearing and raising children in the UK and their perspectives on how they sustain their children’s health and wellbeing. The Silences Framework (TSF) offers a lens through which the Zimbabwean parents' experiences are made visible in this study. Hermeneutic phenomenology was employed as a research methodology from van Manen's perspective and data was collected through individual in-depth interviews with five fathers and five mothers settled in South Yorkshire, UK. The analysis approach integrates the four phases of TSF cyclic analysis and thematic analysis process by van Manen. Findings from this study show that parenting experiences in the UK are largely influenced by cultural background, religious beliefs and how the parents were raised. Parenting in a new culture requires parents to rely on an interdependent system of support which can include spouses, extended family, other migrant families, children's schools and health professionals. In Zimbabwe, raising children is a collective effort of community networks and kinship structures. There is concern about the children's sense of belonging in the UK, which is defined as multi-layered. Research findings may help to increase knowledge on the Zimbabwean diaspora, add insight in the everyday life of migrant families and therefore influence policies, practices and future research. While some findings are specific to the Zimbabwean diaspora, others are concerns that migrant families have irrespective of place of origin.
