a

n = 24, one mother was a statistical outlier for human milk insulin and so her data were excluded from all milk insulin analyses.

b

Linear regression model was adjusted for duration of time from the last breastfeeding to the start of the human milk collection.

c

Linear regression model was adjusted for duration of time from the last breastfeeding to the start of the human milk collection and fat-free mass.

d

Linear regression model was adjusted for fat-free mass.

e

Linear regression model was adjusted for maternal age at measurement; n = 24, one mother was a statistical outlier and her data were excluded from this regression model.

f

Linear regression model was adjusted for maternal age at measurement and fat-free mass.
