Continuous data were analyzed using linear mixed effect models with non-transformed or transformed dependent variables. Frequencies were analyzed using mixed effect logistic regression. The interaction effect of treatment by time was tested while controlling for household average monthly income, maternal education, child's birthweight, child's age and child's sex.
