  1. Model 1 includes infant age, two spline terms, and interactions between air pollutants and age and spline terms. Model 2 further adjusted for maternal education level, maternal race, pre-pregnancy BMI, hypertensive disorders, diabetic disorders, recruitment site, maternal age, parity, breastfeeding duration, postnatal air pollutant (same as the exposure), and ambient temperature
