The pic is of me. I’m mixed Asian, but have no idea how the blond hair/blue eyes thing came about from my side, since my dad was brown haired/brown eyed – and so is my husband (well, hazel-eyed)! My son seems to take after my father in law. The wonders of genetics! By the way, I grew up outside of DC, near Reston, VA.

I couldn’t properly answer one of their first questions: I’m both pregnant AND nursing my “1-3 yr baby”. That they use radio buttons instead of check boxes is annoying and leaves no room for tandem nursing, which seems odd for a nursing bra company, y’know? I chose not to participate further. :\

@Ruby: I agree that it could have been constructed better in some places. I used the “other” box in a lot of places. But I hope it will be useful nonetheless.

@Crystal – My husband is Chinese, and we’ve managed to produce a blue-eyed, very light brown haired little boy. Gotta love genetics!

The survey wasn’t very well constructed. For example, they ask for the partner’s gender but then refer to the partner as “he” all over the place and even assume you have a mother in law, etc. I found many of the questions to be much more invasive than asking my child’s birthdate! But I did it anyway.

@Lei: That is awful. I have heard a few other people say that too. There is no Target where I live, so I haven’t seen it first hand. Are the coupons specifically targeted to what you buy? E.g. if you went to target and bought underwear and a toaster, would it give you different coupons than if you buy nursing pads and breastmilk pumping storage bags?

I own my own company, so I raved about how supportive my boss (me!) was of me breastfeeding and pumping at work!

I finished the survey although I couldn’t exactly tell if they meant how you felt nursing your first child or your second child…. the child’s age they wanted was the youngest child, but I felt and reacted differently toward breastfeeding before my FIRST child so I answered most of the questions from that standpoint. Also there was one question that was something like “Who influenced you the most to keep breastfeeding” the choices were Mom, Friend, Partner… I wanted one that was “BABY!” ha ha! My baby, especially my first, is the person who most influenced me to keep nursing since he loved it so much even during times when I didn’t love it. Anyway I hope the results are useful to them!
