Purpose: To explore the relation between breastmilk nutrients and the cognitive abilities of breastfed infants.
Phase 1: Near 3 months of age child and mother saliva samples for DNA obtained with breast milk sample.
Phase 2: At 6 months of age child participates in electrophysiology session to test recognition memory.
Phase 3: At 26 or 38 months of age, children will complete behavioral, dietary, and physical assessments.
