  • Data shown as n, n (%) or median (IQR). Data were available for some women for both the planned ‘6-month survey’ and the planned ‘12-month survey’ (although the actual timing was not necessarily as planned), and in these the latter was used if completed 5–18 months after delivery as it contained questions on self-rated maternal health and age at end of exclusive breast feeding.

  • *Of those women with relevant survey data available.
