(1) AHR denotes the adjusted hazard ratio from Cox regression models. The other control variables included: household characteristics (residence, residential regions), parental characteristics (age, mother’s marital status, and parity), and infant characteristics (gender, birth weight, gestational age, place of delivery, ethnicity, and birth year). (2) ISEI score refers to occupational status, with higher values indicating higher occupational status. (3) 2658 observations were used in Cox regression for 280 infants were never breastfed. Among 2658 children, the longest breastfeeding duration was 39 months, while the shortest was is 0.1 months. The time interval is 0.1 to 39 months
