Table presents βs with 95% CIs based on robust SEs clustered at the district level shown in parentheses from adjusted linear probability models regressing wasting against maternal daily-equivalent consumption of the 7 food groups listed, adjusting for the control variables and fixed effects listed in the Methods section. #P value < 0.10; *P value < 0.05; **P value < 0.01; ***P value < 0.001.
