Table 2 Feeding habits and demographic factors affecting the relative abundance of microbial groups

	Bacteria groups	Mean differences (95% CI)	p value
Total breastfeeding: Yes versus No	Lactobacilli - Enterococci	5.236 (1.044 - 9.428)	0.015
Weaning age	Clostridium leptum	-0.827 (-1.5934 - -0.0602)	0.035
Sibling number	Bifidobacterium Enterobacteriaceae	3.873 (0.112 -7.634) -0.526 (-0.8725 - -0.1801)	0.044 0.004

Linear mixed model analysis adjusted with confounding factors (Location, mode of delivery, weaning age, sibling number, total breastfeeding up to 6 month, eczema and prenatal antibiotics). Only bacteria groups with statistically significant differences are listed.
