Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

You are talking about table 9.9.2 on page 124 in the Bangladesh 2007 main report. There is an error in the column headings in that table. This is a table for children, as is indicated in the table title, and the heading for the first four columns should be "Timing after delivery of child's first postnatal checkup". That is, "mother's" should be replaced with "child's'. The column header from table 9.9.2, for mothers, was mistakenly carried over from table 9.9.1 to table 9.9.2.

The time to the child's checkup is given by m71 (the time for the mother is m51). You need to do "tab m71" to get a clear idea of how to do the recode. The following lines will do what you want"

gen timingc=5
replace timingc=1 if m71<=103
replace timingc=2 if m71>=104 & m71<=123
replace timingc=3 if m71==201 | m71==202
replace timingc=4 if m71>=203 & m71<=305
replace timingc=. if bidx>1

label define timing 1 "< 4 hours" 2 "4 to 23 hours" 3 "24 to 47 hours" 4 "48 hours to 41 days" 5 "Never"
label values timingc timing

tab timingc [iweight=v005/1000000]

You could get table 9.9.1 with similar lines, using m51.
