Associations between recommendation adherence and overall guideline adherence over time and milestone age outcomes among infants in the questionnaire sample

Participants who had observations for all variables of interest were included in the analyses. Covariates (Baseline: child sex, race/ethnicity, the number of siblings, parental age, parental marital status, parental education, parental country of birth; Average across time points: non-parental care time) were included in all models
