Adjusted Rates of Breastfeeding in the Early and Late Intervention Groups at Baseline

			Early intervention group			Late intervention group
Age	Type of breastfeeding	Recall	n	Adjusted rate (%)	95% CI (%)	n	Adjusted rate (%)	95% CI (%)
Birth	Exclusive	From birth	923	65.7a	57.4–72.6	803	61.0a	52.8–69.1
3 months	Exclusive	7-day	866	48.3b	40.0–57.1	761	48.3b	37.0–51.8
6 months	Exclusive	7-day	836	7.5c	4.6–12.6	741	6.9c	3.7–12.8
6 months	Any	24-hour	836	63.9d	54.6–72.5	741	60.3d	50.6–69.5
12 months	Any	24-hour	789	31.8e	24.7–39.8	697	29.1e	22.7–36.5

Rates were adjusted for the following statistically significant variables in the logistic regression model:

^aBirth weight, bottle use, pacifier use, rooming-in, breastfeeding session during antenatal care, prepregnancy body mass index.

^bAnalgesia in labor, twin delivery, pacifier use, current smoking, time of first breastfeed, breastfeeding session during antenatal care, maternal education, parity.

^cBirth weight, bottle use, pacifier use, smoking during pregnancy, breastfeeding session during antenatal care, maternal education, parity.

^dPrepregnancy body mass index, breastfeeding session during antenatal care, nationality, current smoking, time of first breastfeed, parity, maternal education.

^eType of delivery, bottle use, maternal education, parity, nationality.

CI, confidence interval.
