1.
Bold reflects p-value < 0.05
2.
Percentages are calculated within classes, not between. Ie 70% of kids in class 1 have mothers who completed more than primary school
3.
Additional six infants were dropped from the multinomial logistic regression due to missing values regarding breastfeeding status
