Infant and Children Foot Impressions

[Meredith Coon]

Hello fellow impression nerds!

Does anyone have a collection of footprints over time, preferably the first recording from the hospital or within days of birth? I am working with Sushana Williams and Dionna Lewis to try to amass a collection and compare creases across multiple children (or people who had their prints recorded as infants and later as adults). I have a few from my children but we are notoriously creased individuals and I want to gather a larger sample size.

Thank you for your assistance!
