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!) 😁🩵
[Thread 1/4] #BabyLab
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! 🤗

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?!)🥰
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: redcap.link/2zhauzjuto
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! ⭐
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! 🥳
#BabyLab #Research #BristolBaby #LongitudinalStudy
One of our favourite things about doing a #LongitudinalStudy is that we get to see our baby scientists grow up!
These little ones took part in the LEAF study when they were 10-months-old, and will be coming back again when they are 24-months and 30-months. 💙
