¹Values are means ± SDs unless otherwise indicated. There was no difference between male and female infants or the meat and dairy groups at any time points. *Different from the WHO length velocity, P < 0.05. Dairy, dairy-based complementary protein group; Meat, meat-based complementary protein group.
