Weight-for-age percentiles over time: African American formula feeding (AAFF) and White breastfeeding (WBF) infants. Tests of significance between groups were based on linear regression (P < 0.05). *AAFF infants had lower weight-for-age z-scores relative to WBF infants at 2 weeks [−0.68 (SE = 0.14) vs. 0.14 (SE = 0.15); P = 0.000] and 8 weeks [−0.72 (SE = 0.16) vs. 0.09 (SE = 0.13); P = 0.000]. **AAFF infants had significantly greater increases in weight-for-age z from 8 to 16 weeks than WBF infants (Beta = 0.17, t = 2.13, P = 0.04)
