A collaborative research study conducted by the Nutritional Sciences and Psychology Departments at Oklahoma State University is investigating the connection between infant nutrition and development.

The group is seeking participants who are pregnant or new mothers of healthy infants younger than three months of age.  The mothers must be breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed after giving birth.  The research study will collect questionnaires about the family, a sample of milk and blood from the mother (not from the baby), and measure the baby’s physical growth and mental development at 3, 6, and 9 months of age.

Participants will be paid $40 for the 3-month visit and $25 each for the 6 and 9-month visits.  To find out more information on the research study, please contact Dr. David Thomas at 405-744-7078 or Dr. Tay Kennedy at 405-744-5965.
