Dear Amira,
The recode referring to this variable is as follows:
V208 = count( REC21 where B3 >= V008 - 59 ); { Births in last five years }

Yes. It is referring to LIVE births only, but a baby could have died after birth.

In the recode manual B3 is century month code for the date of birth of the child
V208 is Total number of births in the last five years is defined as all births in the months 0 to 59 prior
to the month of interview, where month 0 is the month of interview.

Hope this helps!
