I apologize for all these questions! In your previous response you said the feeding practices are only asked children less than 2 years old. In the round 6 recode manual, for the food questions on page 63 it states that the base is "At least one child born in the last 3 years and living with the respondent." Looking at individual countries, this seems to vary. For example, in Ghana 2008, the nutrition questions seem to include children under 3 years old (the questionnaire in the final report states this), not 2 years old. However, in Ivory Coast 2011, it seems to only include children less than 2 years old. I can't verify this for Ivory Coast however because the final report is in French. Am I right to assume whether the universe is 2 years old or 3 years old varies by country?

Thanks again!
