Total sample, n=407 (low-risk group, n=204; high-risk group, n=203).
Mean scores for restrictive feeding style (mean of the two items) and pressuring feeding style (mean of the three items) are presented here. Scores ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree).
Using linear regression analyses, models adjusted for infant age, sex, birth order, and maternal age.
SD, standard deviation; SE, standard error.
