  1. IBF: initiation of breastfeeding; AOR: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
  2. Model 1: adjusted for maternal age, maternal education, number of children, child’s age, IBF, sex, bottle feeding, and being affected by the earthquake
  3. Model 2: adjusted for maternal age, maternal education, number of children, child’s age, IBF, sex, bottle feeding, housing, safety, nutrition, and mental health support
