Adjusted associations between breastfeeding and cell numbers at 6 and 14 months.

Values are log transformed regression coefficients (95% confidence interval of cell numbers (*10e9/L)) derived from linear regression models and reflect the increase or decrease (%) in log transformed cell numbers per month continuation of breastfeeding.(duration), and the increase or decrease (%) in log transformed cell numbers of groups exposed to breastfeeding relative to the reference group (never breastfeeding). Breastfed groups include both partially and exclusively breastfed children. *P-value <0.05. Adjusted for maternal education and maternal alcohol use during pregnancy. Adjusted associations between breastfeeding and cell numbers at 6 and 14 months.
