Note. Accurate recall was defined as recalled breastfeeding duration to within a month of the Infant Feeding Practices Study II breastfeeding duration. CI = confidence interval; HL GOF test = Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (p value); HS = high school; ref = reference; WIC = Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.

a

Model 1: fully adjusted model.

b

Model 2: reduced model excludes variables nonsignificant at p > .05 and nonconfounders as per the 10% rule.

c

Normal birth weight.

d

Above normal birth weight.
