Release Summary: A new survey from Bounty has revealed that pregnant
women will seek advice from their mum before anybody else
Press
Release Body: A new survey from Bounty, a leading
UK parenting club, has revealed that pregnant women prefer to
seek advice and support from their own mother before consulting
a baby guru.
The
survey from Bounty polled mums on which baby
guru is their favourite and whose pregnancy
advice they trust most. "My mum" topped
the poll with 37% of the vote while "Supernanny"
Jo Frost came in second, winning a quarter of the votes
cast.
While
there's no denying the amazing success and popularity of baby
gurus and the value of their work which gives many mothers and
mums-to-be easy access to a pregnancy
guide ("Supernanny" alone regularly
enjoys up to 3 million viewers in the UK and between 8 and 9 million
in the US), most pregnant women find advice from their own mother
the most comfort to them during their pregnancy.
Commenting
on the research, Bounty.com editor, Dorothy Thomas
said, "It's great that a mother's advice is so valued
by women when they're pregnant. The saying that 'mum knows best'
can so often be true, though, as lots may have changed since the
mums of today's mothers-to-be had them, it's good to know that
there are complimentary sources of pregnancy information, such
as Bounty."
Mrs
Thomas continued, "Bounty has almost 50 years experience
in delivering pregnancy and parenting information, and understands
how pregnancy and childcare advice has changed over the years.
All our information conforms to the latest best practice guidelines
and we're proud to be a valuable source of advice for our members."
