Participants who had observations for all variables of interest were included in the analyses. In all models, time was included as a repeated and fixed effect and covariates (Baseline: infant sex, infant race/ethnicity, number of siblings, parental marital status, parental education, parental country of birth; Time varying: non-parental care time, parental age) were included as fixed effects
