Participants who had observations for all variables of interest were included in the analyses. Covariates (AIMS assessment: infant age; Baseline: infant sex, infant race/ethnicity, 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. One participant had missing data on AIMS

Mean imputations were conducted for 6 missing data on average non-parental care time

aDue to distribution, AIMS stand was dichotomised as a dummy variable (value = 0 reference]: score = 2; value = 1: score > 2)
