@dr_emmacoombe Hi, thanks for getting in touch! Unfortunately, your little one is slightly too old to participate at this time - in July we will only be recruiting 24-month-olds for the pilot study and 10-month-olds for the longitudinal study. Thank you anyway for your interest :)

[Bristol University Baby Lab - BUBL @BristolBabyLab]

These last couple of weeks have marked another big milestone in the LEAF study: we have started "pilot testing" with 2-year-olds (I don't think we can call them baby scientists anymore!) 😁🩵

We will be pilot testing with 2-year-olds for the next few months, as we get ready to welcome back our first 2-year-old longitudinal participants in August! 🤗

We know that families commit a lot of time to our research - we appreciate this commitment so much and feel so lucky to have such an enthusiastic cohort of participants! Thanks again to everyone that has participated in our study so far or signed up to participate in the future.

[Bristol University Baby Lab - BUBL @BristolBabyLab]

Thank you to one of our participants for providing this lovely feedback on their experience of being part of the LEAF study!

It means a lot to us to know that families enjoy being part of our study (possibly even as much as we enjoy running it?!)🥰

[Bristol University Baby Lab - BUBL @BristolBabyLab]

We are still recruiting families to take part in the LEAF study!

If your child will be 10 months old between April 2024 and August 2024, and you would like to take part or find out more about the study, please complete this expression of interest form: https://t.co/i2cHpqon3z

Merry Christmas from the Bristol University Baby Lab! 🎅🎄

The lab will be closed until Wednesday 3rd January, to give all our scientists a well deserved break!

We hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and we are looking forward to more testing and fun in the lab in 2024! ⭐

[Bristol University Baby Lab - BUBL @BristolBabyLab]

It has been lovely to see families again, 6 months after their first visit to the Baby Lab, and we are looking forward to seeing more families for their 16-month sessions in the New Year! 🥳
