β (regression coefficients) ± SE are displayed

Model 1: adjusted for gestational age (birth and 3 months growth outcomes only), sex and age at measurement

Model 2: Model 1 + adjusted for pre-pregnancy maternal BMI, maternal height (for height gain only), parity (primiparous, yes/no), feeding history (exclusively breastfed at 3 months, yes/no; except for birth anthropometry), maternal ethnicity (white, yes/no), IMD, delivery method (Caesarean delivery, yes/no), maternal smoking history during pregnancy (yes/no)
