This anonymous survey is developed to understand more about the effects of synthetic oxytocin on newborns. With this survey we can see if there could be a correlation between the behavior of newborns when mother has had synthetic oxytocin at the time of her delivery or after. Any information gathered will be analysed within Queensland Cradle Care and no personal information will be distributed. If you would like to receive the results of the survey you can add your email address at the bottom of the survey.
