Table 1. Description of final generalized linear models (GLMs).
| Model | Dependent variable | Independent variable | Confounders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) | Facility births (reference home delivery) | Adjusted for maternal age, education, current employment status, wealth quintile, distance to the facility, complications during pregnancy, received ≥4 ANC visits, complications during delivery, mode of delivery (only for model 3 & 4), hard to reach areas, sample weight and clustering |
| Model 2 | No prelacteal feeding | ||
| Model 3 | Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) | Delivery by medically trained provider (reference untrained provider) | |
| Model 4 | No prelacteal feeding | ||
| Model 5 | Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) | Among facility births only: private sector delivery (reference public/ NGO sector delivery) | |
| Model 6 | No prelacteal feeding | ||
| Model 7 | Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) | Cesarean section delivery (reference vaginal deliveries) | |
| Model 8 | No prelacteal feeding |
