Incorrect
Results section
Even stronger mediation was observed for postpartum depression at 1 year, which explained 79.7% and 25.7% of the relationship between breastfeeding at 12 months and internalizing behavior and total behavior scores, respectively (Table 3; Fig. 3A).
Discussion section
The direct and indirect pathways have small effect sizes (between 0.01 and 0.23 of a standard deviation in behavior scores) but can still be interpreted as clinically meaningful when extrapolated to the population level because infant feeding is a universal exposure.
