Another response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


I believe that the first version of the questions about postnatal care did not distinguish between whether it was for the child or for the mother. The best way to check this is to look at the questionnaire for the 2003 survey, which is in Appendix E of the main report (https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR152/FR152.pdf). Find the section in which the questions are asked and see whether there are separate responses for the child and the mother. If not, then m50 and m51 will be the best you can do for that survey.
