Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to learn about different approaches to promoting healthy growth among infants, and understanding parents' likes and dislikes of an approach to reducing risk factors for obesity later in life. The study includes filling out some forms with questions about your baby and your thoughts about your baby's growth and health, and engaging in a pattern of changes in or prevention of risk factors in the first year of life. Parents will receive information about changes and some tools and materials to take home with them. Some parents may receive phone calls between visits as well. The study takes place from soon after birth through the infant's age of 9 months. The estimated total time of interaction between the study staff and parents during the study period is 4 hours.
