Box plots of total human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) production at 20 weeks postpartum compared by (a) infant birth season and (b) what season mothers were living in 20 weeks postpartum. All mothers who gave birth during the wet season were living in the dry season 20 weeks postpartum, and all mothers who gave birth during the dry season were living in the wet season 20 weeks postpartum. Mothers lactating in the wet season produced less total HMO during that time point compared to mothers lactating in the dry season during that time point. In both plots the median is given as a line, the 25th and 75th percentiles are the top and bottom of the boxes, and the whiskers are data within 1.5*(75th–25th percentile) of the median. N for each group are given above the respective groups and P-values are listed below each plot based on Mann-Whitney U tests.
