^aPercent difference scores for infant's formula intake during ML vs. IL feeding = [(ML – IL)/IL] × 100.

^bHigher scores = more arrhythmic; from the Infant Temperament Questionnaire.^26,27

^cHigher scores = more nonadaptable; from the Infant Temperament Questionnaire.^26,27

^dHigher scores = more negative mood; from the Infant Temperament Questionnaire.^26,27

^eHigher scores = greater levels of restrictive or responsive feeding style; from the Infant Feeding Styles Questionnaire.²⁸
