Models predicting breastfeeding initiation and probability of stopping, including history of violence exposure as a predictor. These models includes history of violence exposure, breastfeeding plan, and covariates.

^aThe following variables were included as covariates if they were significantly associated with the given outcome in bivariate tests: language (English vs. other), age, smoking history, alcohol history, education, depression, reasons for stopping breastfeeding (went back to school, went back to work, went back to both school and work, or neither), BMI, parity (no prior births vs. prior births).

^bNot reported, because fewer than 3 individuals who had a breastfeeding plan did not initiate breastfeeding, leading to unreasonable standard error estimates.

^cNot reported, because fewer than 3 individuals who had no breastfeeding plan continued exclusively breastfeeding through 13 weeks, leading to unreasonable standard error estimates.
