1 Mothers milk in gram is assessed by frequency and duration of breastfeeding, not weighing.

2 These food groups are predefined by the Dutch Food Composition Table.

3 Protein not from animal sources is predefined by the Dutch Food Composition Table, protein from animal sources is derived by difference between protein and protein not from animal sources.

4 Complementary foods with protein from animal sources are a sum of 6 predefined food groups from the Dutch Food Composition Table: milk and milk products, cheese, eggs, meat/meat products and fowl, fish, and precomposed foods (like meals in a jar; this last group may also contain some protein not from animal sources).

5 For Drinks, Beverage sugar in gram and Beverage sugar in en% were equal variances not assumed, resulting in a non significant differene for Beverage sugar in gram.
