Table 4.

Among predominantly breastfed infants, there were greater odds for feeding as the first soothing strategy in response to infant fussiness for Control mothers, compared to Responsive Parenting mothers, and during the nighttime compared to the daytime. Models show study group by feeding mode and time of day by feeding mode interactions on Fed First, compared to Not Fed First
