Significance values (p-values) calculated using permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PerMANOVA) for the difference between ‘less than 4 months’ breastfeeding’ and ‘greater than 4 months’ breastfeeding’ for SVD and CS infants.
| Birth mode | N (number of infants) | PerMANOVA (p-value) |
|---|---|---|
| CS | 22 | 0.246 |
| SVD | 22 | 0.359 |
| Combined (SVD and CS) | 44 | 0.23 |
CS: Caesarean section; SVD: spontaneous vaginal delivery. Both groups (CS and SVD) were combined and tested against duration of breastfeeding.
