1
Values are adjusted ORs (95% CIs). Ninety and 88 children stunted at age 2 d were excluded from the analysis at ages 6 and 12 mo, respectively. Stunting was defined as length-for-age z score <−2 of the WHO growth standards. EBF, exclusive breastfeeding; RCT, randomized controlled trial.
2
Maternal BMI was measured during the first 2 mo postpartum.

Wealth tertiles were site specific.
