Dear sir,
I am trying to calculate duration of breastfeeding for under five years old children by using KR data file of Myanmar DHS (2015 - 2016). I would like to know how could I calculate for following information
Breastfeeding status (for children under age 2 who are living with their mother)
□ Not breastfeeding □ Exclusively breastfeed
□ Breastfeeding and consuming plain water only
□ Breastfeeding and consuming non-milk liquids
□ Breastfeeding and consuming other milk
□ Breastfeeding and consuming complementary foods
Duration of breastfeeding (among children born in the 3 years preceding the survey)
□ Exclusive breastfeeding
□ Any breastfeeding
□ Predominant breastfeeding
Could I receive Spss tutorial for above information calculation? I use guide of DHS program, however, I cannot calculate for this. I am not very much expert in Spss and statistic knowledge. Please help me. I am trouble with this.

Hello Trevor,
I am calculating the exclusive breastfeeding among <6 months using Indonesia 2017 datasets.
I used the following commends.
use IDKR71FL
**weight
gen wgt=v005/1000000
* Last child in the last 2 years living with mother
* age in months
gen age = v008-b3
* drop if too old or not alive
keep if b19<6 & b5==1
* recode age into groups
* keep only those children living with mother ...
keep if b9==0
* ... and keep the last born of those
drop if _n > 0 & caseid == caseid[_n-1]
* check the deonimnator
tab age [iw=wgt]
* breastfeeding status.
gen water=0
gen liquids=0
gen milk=0
gen solids=0
gen breast=0
* Water
replace water=1 if (v409>=1 & v409<=8)
* Other non-milk liquids
* check for country specific liquids
foreach xvar of varlist v410 v412c v413* {
replace liquids=1 if `xvar'>=1 & `xvar'<=8
}
* Powdered or tinned milk, formula, fresh milk
foreach xvar of varlist v411 v411a {
replace milk=1 if `xvar'>=1 & `xvar'<=8
}
* Solid food
* check for country specific foods
foreach xvar of varlist v412a v414* {
replace solids=1 if `xvar'>=1 & `xvar'<=8
}
* Still breastfeeding
replace breast=1 if m4==95
tab1 water liquids milk solids breast
* Generate column variable used in table 11.3
gen feeding=1
replace feeding=2 if water==1
replace feeding=3 if liquids==1
replace feeding=4 if milk==1
replace feeding=5 if solids==1
replace feeding=0 if breast==0
tab feeding,m
label define feeding 0 "Not breastfeeding" 1 "exclusive breastfeeding" 2 "+Water" 3 "+Liquids" 4 "+Other Milk" 5 "+Solids"
label val feeding feeding
tab feeding [iw=wgt]
However, I found that my result is a little different with the report. I got 51.3% while the report revealed 51.5%.
Could you please guide me further. Thanks

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
We apologize for the delay in this reply. We cannot go through your code in detail. I can see a problem at the beginning, with "gen age=v008-b3" and "keep if age<6 & b5==1". In these files, age in months should be defined by hw1. It does not have to be recalculated. "Born in the last two years and living" would be "keep if hw1<24 & b5==1". I assume that the rest of the code is taken correctly from the Guide to DHS Statistics or the relevant codeshare program.
