Dear «First_Name»:

We have some very good news! The Food and Nutrition Service has extended the Feeding My Baby study. We will conduct one last interview when [CHILD FIRST NAME] turns 6 years old. We will add $60 to your prepaid MasterCard after you complete that interview with an additional $10 if you use your own cellphone. We will also ask you to take [CHILD FIRST NAME] to WIC or your doctor’s office to be weighed and measured. We won’t interview you when [CHILD FIRST NAME] is age 5½.

If you want to stay in the study to age 6, please complete the enclosed consent form. You can return it to us in the postage-paid envelope. As always, you don’t need to be enrolled in WIC to participate in the age 5 or age 6 interviews.

We are truly appreciative of your help on this study.

Best wishes,

Nancy Weinfield

Feeding My Baby Study Project Director
