  1. *WFL weight-for-length, kg, kilograms OR odds ratio CI confidence interval. Model 1 is unadjusted. Model 2 adjusted for child gestational age at birth and sex. Model 3 added maternal age (≥35 years), parity (nulliparous), and race/ethnicity. Model 4 added smoking during pregnancy. Model 5 added maternal education. Model 6 added insurance status. Smoking during pregnancy and gestational diabetes models were not adjusted for gestational age at birth
