Bold: p < 0.05, N = 1024
Model 1: Breastfeeding at one month versus BMI z-score at the age of five, adjusted for birth weight, gestational age, ethnicity and gender
Model 2: model 1 + adjustment for SSB consumption frequency and bread score
Model 3: model 2 + adjustment for parental lifestyle factors (maternal BMI, paternal BMI, maternal smoking during pregnancy)
Model 4: model 3 + adjustment for socioeconomic factors (maternal educational level, maternal age at birth, paternal educational level, household income)
