Dear User,
I would start by looking at The Guide to DHS Statistics which can be downloaded from our website at:http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs-questi onnaires-and-manuals.cfm Page 123 is the beginning of 'Infant Feeding' and shows the calculations for Percent distribution of children exclusively breastfeeding, fully breastfeeding, predominantly breastfeeding, and receiving complementary foods. This may give you some insight on how to proceed with your own analysis. The publication is bookmarked. You will be able to find calculation for many of our indicators. You will also want to take a look at our Standard Recode Manual http:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg4-dhs-questionna ires-and-manuals.cfm. After looking at these resources, if you still have questions, please feel free to post again.
Thank you!
