(A) Percentage of prenatally employed women who breastfed ≥12 months by postnatal work status,1 USDA’s WIC ITFPS-2.2 1Reported postnatal work status is the current work status at the time a woman first indicated she was currently working full time or part time and provided baby’s age when she returned. Women were asked current work status at month 3, 7, and 13. 2Unweighted n is full time = 58, part time = 93, and did not return to work = 79; weighted n is full time = 7,611, part time = 12,263, and did not return to work = 13,096. aIndicates results are significantly different from those who did not return to work (t-test, p < 0.05). bIndicates results are significantly different from those who first returned full time (t-test, p < 0.05). (B) Percentage of prenatally employed women who returned to work and breastfed ≥12 months by baby’s age when women first returned to work, USDA’s WIC ITFPS-2.1 1Unweighted n is baby is ≤1 month old = 15, baby is >1 to ≤2 months old = 52, baby is >2 to ≤3 months old = 32, and baby is >3 months old = 52; weighted n is baby is ≤1 month old = 1,963, baby is >1 to ≤2 months old = 6,267, baby is >2 to ≤3 months old = 3,985, and baby is >3 months old = 7,659. aIndicates results are significantly different from those who first returned when baby’s age was >3 months (t-test, p < 0.05).
