*Control group (CG): n = 176/168 at 9/15 months. †Complementary feeding group (CFG): n = 177/170 at 9/15 months. ‡Responsive complementary feeding and play group (RCF&PG): n = 158/145 at 9/15 months. Data present percentages. Percentages in a column with superscripts without a common letter differ, P < 0.05 (cluster‐adjusted analysis of variance with generalized estimating equations).
