  1. 1Well-established influences on neonatal size, 2Group affiliation was also included in all models as this study was a randomised control trial. %TE denotes percentage of total energy. Multiple regression analysis was used in this analysis and only statistically significant overall models were included. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
