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

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

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

^dLinear regression model was adjusted for fat-free mass.

^eLinear 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.

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