Research
Introduction
In this project, our group was assigned to create a product of value for a mother who has a newborn baby of 6 months. This specific participant posed several challenges that have been discussed in subsequent sections, but below is a high-level overview of the main points of attention that were emphasized:
​
-
The mother was a first-time mother who had no previous experience in motherhood
-
The mother worked as a researcher & professor at the University of Twente.
-
The mother's partner was working abroad in the United Kingdom, which caused the mother to be the primary caretaker of the baby for a vast period.
-
The mother has difficulty in feeding transitions from liquid food to solid food
-
The mother has extreme difficulty in keeping the baby engaged and entertained for long periods and finds it hard to find a work-life balance.
