The regression coefficient represents the estimated difference in weight since birth.
Model 2 adjusted results were similar to the adjusted results of model 3 (only results from model 3 are presented in the table; results of model 2 are available on request).
Model 2 adjusted for maternal age, gestational diabetes, hypertension during pregnancy, number of pregnancies, viable births, lost pregnancies, gestational age, pre-eclampsia, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, drug use, epidural before caesarean section and election to have a caesarean section.
Model 3 adjusted for maternal age, gestational diabetes, hypertension during pregnancy, number of pregnancies, viable births, lost pregnancies, gestational age, pre-eclampsia, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, drug use, epidural before caesarean section, election to have a caesarean section, Apgar score, exclusive breast feeding, number of stools, number of urine, presence of fever and phototherapy.
