See the website at <http://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov>. I believe that 
they are recruiting expectant parents or those anticipating pregnancy in 
the near future because the researchers are looking to measure exposures 
starting in utero. I don't think they're recruiting older kids because this 
is a prospective study.

Children *having been* breastfed would constitute retrospective data. Do 
check the site though, especially if you'll be adding to your family. (Hey, 
maybe I can convince my husband about a third child ... we could 
participate in scientific progress and the enlightenment of humankind. ;-) )

Julia
