STUDY GOAL
We are excited to invite you and your child to participate in our study examining the relationship between infant control of behavior and feeding behaviors in 4-month old infants. The overall goal of this study is to understand factors related to the development of childhood obesity.
ACTIVITIES
- Family (mother and child) will visit the CNRC one time (complimentary parking will be provided).
- Visit will last about 2.5 hours.
- A recorded observation of your child feeding using a baby bottle that we will provide. A small sensor will be attached to the bottle. This sensor is designed to record the intensity and burst of your child’s sucking during feeding.
- Behavior observation tasks with your child and you.
- Your child’s body composition measurements: Height & Weight and DEXA (low intensity X-ray to assess body fat, mass, etc.).
- Questionnaires completed by you.
COMPENSATION
You will be provided with financial compensation for your time and effort.
