Effects of early nutrition on infant development, blood glucose regulation and physical activity levels at 6 months of age
The goal of this project is to compare the effects of breastfeeding versus regular milk-based formula versus formula made with corn syrup solids on infant blood glucose levels and physical activity and sleep at 6 months. We will use continuous glucose monitors and simultaneous physical activity monitors over 7 days.
Funding
This project is currently funded as a P50 pilot study in collaboration with Dr. Beth Smith, and via intra-mural resources.
