Significance determined using individual multiple linear regression models adjusted for RCT group, maternal education level, maternal BMI at 5 years, breastfeeding exposure, childcare exposure and child BMI centile at 5 years. Significant at p < 0.05, n = 230. Maternal eating behaviours (predictor) determined using TFEQ. Child eating behaviours (outcome) determined using CEBQ.
