Figure 2

Estimated mean weight-for-age z-scores at birth, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months (n=60). Lines represent different infant feeding practices across time. Z-scores reflect adjustment for caretaker age, race, and education (p<0.05). There were some infants considered underweight (<5 percentile) at birth (8.3%), at 1 month (11.9%), at 3 months (6.3%), at 6 months (1.5%), 9 months (0%), and at 12 months (0%).
