Associations between breastfeeding and anthropometric measures in the study periods from birth to five weeks of age and five weeks to five months of age. Estimates are given on the standardized scale (SD-score), and adjusted values are corrected for maternal pregestational BMI and smoking status. All values are adjusted for the child’s SD-score at beginning of each period. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. For further interpretation see text
