Parents were interviewed on duration of breastfeeding, introduction of complementary feeding, child's pharmacotherapy in the month preceding the survey, and on medical history of the child.
There was no evidence for mediation by breastfeeding duration or age of introduction of solid foods, though longer duration of breastfeeding was an independent predictor of reduced HAZ and leg length.
Survival curves for overall breastfeeding duration by age of introduction of pacifier and extent of pacifier use are displayed in Figures 2 and 3.
The SNAS study asked mothers or primary guardians of SEARCH participants to complete a questionnaire that asked about breastfeeding duration and timing of introduction of various beverages and foods common in the infant diet (19 total items).
