* SF, standard formula; α-lac-EW, experimental formula with α-lactalbumin-enriched whey; CGMP-RW, experimental formula with reduced CGMP whey. ¹ FF groups compared by one-way ANOVA, post hoc Bonferroni. ⁽²⁾ FF groups compared by one-way ANCOVA, post hoc Bonferroni, adjusted for weight gain during pregnancy, gestational diabetes, maternal smoking during pregnancy, maternal and paternal BMI. ³ Mean ± SD (all such values). ^a Significantly different vs. BF (p < 0.05).
