All estimates are based on Cox regressions. Coefficients displayed are HRs with 95% CIs in parentheses. All models control for child and mother characteristics as well as year, village and mother fixed effects.

Postneonatal The probability of dying between the first 30 days and 364 days of life.

**** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.1.

Child, the probability of dying between the first and fifth birthdays; Infant, the probability of dying before the first birthday; Neonatal, the probability of dying within the first 30 days of life.
