BMI SDS trajectory in the first 36 months according to breastmilk intake by any breastfeeding for offspring of a non-GDM and b GDM mothers. Adjusted for ethnicity, parity, maternal age, maternal education, maternal BMI at 26–28 weeks gestation and gestational age at delivery. Age-milk intake interaction term (i.e. Age × BF) represents the estimated change in weight and BMI SDS over time (i.e. weight and BMI SDS velocity, respectively) associated with breastmilk intake. Solid line No BF; Dashed line BF ≥ 4 months
