Association between infant weight for age z‐score and milk adiponectin by offspring age. Offspring were divided into trimesters of lactation to allow for more precise comparisons within age groups. Milk adiponectin was stratified into tertiles. There were no infants in the 3–6 months of age (peak lactation) receiving milk in the lowest tertile of milk adiponectin and no infants in the 21–24 months of age bracket receiving milk with high adiponectin. Within each group, infants receiving milk with the highest tertile of adiponectin had higher weight for age z‐scores than infants in the same age category receiving milk from lower adiponectin tertiles.
