using the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) 2017-2018 dataset.

I would like to request clarification on the specific variables related to breastfeeding:

1) Could you kindly indicate which variable corresponds to children who have ever been breastfed in last 5 years?
2) Additionally, I am looking for the variable that specifically refers to children from the most recent birth who have ever been breastfed in last 5 years.
3) Does V208 include both live births and stillbirths, or does it only count live births?

NOTE:
The outcome/Dependent variable of my Analysis is Early initiation of breastfeeding coded by M34_1
