- Have Type 2 Diabetes
- Have a BMI (body mass index) of 30+

You will be offered a $50 gift card after each in-person visit as compensation for participating in this research and parking is validated.

The Yale Baby School
The Yale Baby School is a research and educational initiative for families, which includes opportunities to participate in research studies, free online courses on child development and parenting, as well as the opportunities to connect with other families in the community at in-person and virtual events such as public lectures, social gatherings and more. We are looking for pregnant individuals, as well as families with infants, toddlers, and children up to 7-years-old to join this initiative.
The research studies are conducted by our team of developmental scientists at the Yale Child Study Center and the Yale Psychology Department. The primary research focus of each participating lab varies from the development of language and cognition, to functional brain development, to pregnancy and parenting. These studies are designed to help us to learn more about parenting and child development, from pregnancy onwards. If you decide to participate in one or more of the ongoing studies over time, we will compensate you for your time and travel.
All interested families are welcome to join! Please feel free to enroll in our program here.
