Table 5 presents the observed prevalence in our sample within each of the infant feeding categories over time.
This homogeneous, self-selected group of participants was clustered in four categories with five of the nine categories having either none or only one mother at each of the six data collection intervals.
The majority of mothers were exclusively breastfeeding, and the comparison of 24-hour recall with 7-day recall demonstrates uneven patterns of feeding with women moving in and out of categories over time.
The higher rate on the 24- hour recall than on the 7-day recall at every data collection interval indicates mothers would use a supplement occasionally over the week.
The sample size fluctuated with the data collection intervals, as some mothers who were not reached at one interval may have completed one or two of the other intervals (e.g., RAs might not have reached a mother at 1 month, but she completed the sessions at 3 months and 5 months).
