Overview

Quantile regression analyzed infant growth metrics by breast milk and formula feeding, suggesting breastfeeding is superior in promoting steady growth.

Key Points

  • Breast milk significantly supports steady growth across different percentiles, reinforcing its nutritional advantage.
  • Formula and mixed feeding showed improved growth outcomes at specific ages, but with higher variability in results, especially among girls.
  • The study involved 207 infants, examining growth metrics against WHO standards and analyzing feeding types and delivery methods.
  • Significant links were found between Caesarean delivery and reduced rates of exclusive breastfeeding, indicating potential barriers to optimal infant nutrition.
