Model 1. Sociodemographic characteristics: variables not included in the model: occupation (stay-at-home mother or work away from home).
Model 2. Global model variables not included in the final model: household food security, occupation, gestational age and baby had difficulty breastfeeding.
In both models, the predicted probability is for being in the L-EBF group.
Bold values indicate statistically significant differences (p <0.05) between study groups.
