Seeking infant vocalization corpus (David Schwartz )

Subject: Seeking infant vocalization corpus From: David Schwartz <schwartz@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 10:00:48 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> Greetings. I'm seeking high-quality recordings of infant vocalizations (cries, babbling, etc.), ideally from a large representative sample of infants. Does there exist such a 'pre-speech' corpus? Many thanks.
