Hello,

I'm trying to create a variable indicating whether a child was ever breastfed as follows:

gen bf_ever= (m4!=94 & m4!=99)
replace bf_ever = . if m4==.
replace bf_ever = . if midx>1

As the information on the duration of breastfeeding in the NFHS was collected for the last birth, why do we have some responses for midx>1 categorized as never breastfed in the KR file? Shouldn't it be missing as the question does not pertain to them (that is why I'm replacing the above created variable with a missing when midx>1)?

Please help me with this and my previously posted doubts.
