On the IPUMS-DHS website, I limited the variable display to samples for Bangladesh and pulled up the display of variables available related to postnatal checks (woman as unit of analysis). An X indicates that the variable is available in a given survey:
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/group?id=mate r_postpart
Here are the results when children are the unit of analysis:
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/group?id=kida nte_postpart
Note that some of these variables might have been given a different (country-specific) name in the original DHS files; IPUMS-DHS gives variables and responses that have the same meaning the same name and code across all surveys to make the data easier to analyze over time or across countries. If you click on the name of a variable, you can get more information about it, including the question wording and who was covered by this variable (the universe) in each survey.
Using the Search function to look for variables on the IPUMS-DHS website or looking at the availability of variables by sample within a topical area (e.g., postpartum checks) can save you time and help you plan your research.
