a

The choice of reference category for each covariates were carefully selected based on theory, empirical distribution, as well as past literature. The reference category for Maternal Age is 26–35, for Maternal Race/Ethnicity is White, for Maternal Education is Less than high school, for Household Income is Lower than poverty line, for Breastfeeding is Never breastfeed, and for Employment Status is Not employed.

Adjusted Odds Ratio; AOR greater than 1 represents increasing log odds of being assigned to a given class compared to the NS-ND class.
