Solid foods and infant growth
Primary Objective
HELP US GIVE BABIES A SOLID START ON SOLIDS! We are interested in learning how consuming different types of solid foods during early complementary feeding affects growth, neurodevelopment, sleep, and the bacteria in the gut. The findings from this study may help to inform future dietary guidelines for infants.
Description
Your baby may be eligible if they are:
- Exclusively breastfed
- Younger than six months of age
- Full term (> 37-weeks’ gestation)
- Have not yet been introduced to solid foods
This is a 7-month long study, with visits occurring once every month.
The first visit, 9-month visit, and last visit will be conducted at Children's Hospital Colorado and the other 4 visits will be contactless home visits.
Compensation will be provided!
