This study is being conducted to better understand early feeding and parenting during a baby’s first three months and to explore ways to improve infant health, parent well‑being, and early growth outcomes.

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Ages 18 and up
• Live in the United States
• Parents of a healthy infant under 1 month of age who was born full‑term
• Have an infant who is bottle‑fed (breastmilk or formula)
• Live in the same home as the infant’s other parent, who is also willing to participate
• Have a smartphone and an email address

Exclusion criteria:

• Infant Down syndrome diagnosis
• Infant cleft lip diagnosis
• Infant cleft palate diagnosis

• The study lasts for your baby’s first three months. During this time, both parents will take part in short activities at home and complete a few study tasks. All activities are done remotely, so you do not need to travel or visit a clinic.

  At‑Home Activities

  This study is completed from home and can be done on your phone or computer. You will:

  • Complete short surveys about feeding, stress, and daily routines

  • Record simple information about how and when your baby is fed

  • Join three short video calls with the study team during the first three months

  These activities are designed to be quick, flexible, and easy to fit into your day. No audio or video is recorded unless you are on a scheduled video call, and no location data is collected.

Compensation is available up to $300 per family, with $150 provided to each parent who completes all study activities.

There is no cost for you to participate in our research study.
