Early Childhood Outcomes for Very Low Birth Weight Infants
This study is looking at the long-term health and development of children who were born very prematurely (very low birth weight) and whose mothers participated in a previous study called ReDiMOM. The ReDiMOM study offered an economic incentive to mothers to encourage them to provide their own milk. This current study will follow these children from when they leave the hospital until they are two years old. Researchers want to see how their thinking abilities (cognition) and body fat (adiposity) at age two are related to the group their mothers were in during the ReDiMOM study, and how long they received their mother's own milk during their first year of life. You may be able to join if your child completed the ReDiMOM study and survived to be discharged from the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).

What this trial measures
- Cognition2 years
Cognitive index scores on Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-4th Edition at 20 months CA.
- Adiposity2 years
Adiposity measured by BIA
- MOM duration1 year
Duration of partial and/or exclusive MOM feedings through the first year of life using questionnaire.
- Total costs2 years
Total costs at 20 months CA will be determined from the societal perspective and defined as the sum of ReDiMOM intervention, healthcare, EI and associated family costs from birth to 20 months CA. Detailed intervention costs for each infant are already collected for the original ReDiMOM RCT. Healthcare costs will be obtained from 5 sources: 1) ReDiMOM RCT prospective database, 2) self-report questionnaire to assess family healthcare costs, 3) Medicaid claims, 4) Illinois State Early Intervention Database, and 5) RUMC system-wide cost-account and billing systems
- Language2 years
Language index scores on Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-4th Edition at 20 months CA.
- Motor2 years
Motor index scores on Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-4th Edition at 20 months CA.
