Sensitivity Analyses. Sensitivity analyses included modeling several alternative outcomes including: 1) continued breastfeeding at 1 year, 2) diet diversity score, and 3) minimum acceptable diet. Continued breastfeeding at 1 year, a binary variable, was defined as the proportion of children 12 to 15 months of age who are fed breast milk (37). Diet diversity score, a continuous variable estimated among children aged 6 to 23 months, was based on the aforementioned 7 foods groups used to calculate MDD (37). For each of the 7 food groups, children received 1 point if any food in the group was consumed (i.e. minimum DDS =0, maximum DDS =7). Minimum acceptable diet was modeled as a binary variable and was defined as the proportion of children 6 to 23 months of age who received a minimum acceptable diet as determined by minimum food frequency, diet diversity, and breastfeeding status (37). Because in some cases the within-country sample size for the associations between employment and EBF were somewhat smaller, we also employed a single logistic regression model with all 40 countries to test the association between employment and EBF. In this specification, each country was included as a fixed-effect, and therefore controlled for baseline country-level differences; but this model assumes the association between employment and EBF is homogeneous across countries. Alpha was set to 0.05. Analyses were performed using Stata 14.1 (StataCorp LP, College Station, Texas). No institutional review board review was obtained given that all analyses used secondary data.
