TABLE 3.

Multilevel model results of the association between prior infant feeding practices (IFPs) at 1–3, 1–6, 1–9, and 1–12 mo of age and gain in weight (in g) of infants and children from 3 to 12, 6 to 12, 9 to 12, and 12 to 24 mo of age¹

¹Results from the fully adjusted models with IFPs and other infant (sex, morbidity, birth weight, and weight at 12 mo) and maternal (age, weight, and wealth index) variables.

²Weight at 12 mo was used instead of birth weight for predicting weight in this group.
