This table is based on data from observations of feeding episodes. Means were calculated using linear regression and proportions were calculated using binomial regression. All calculations were adjusted for within‐subject correlation. FS (fortified spread) alone = spread given straight from the jar; FS mixed = spread mixed with porridge. (–) = same value for upper and lower confidence limits.
