This study, called the Mother-Baby Study - Relative Reinforcing Value (RRV), is looking at how children's eating behaviors develop. Researchers will use a behavioral intervention where children can press a button to earn different rewards: a high-reward food, a low-reward food, or a non-food item. The main goal is to measure how much children prefer certain foods (called "Relative Reinforcing Value of food") up to about 36 months of age. This study is part of a larger observational study, and to join, your child must already be participating in that study (NCT06039878). The study aims to understand how emotions, attachment, and eating habits in mothers and babies are connected to how mothers feed their children, what children eat, and their body size. The current recruitment status is unclear.
