Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The definition of EBF and the construction of the code have been stable for a long time, but there have been some differences across surveys and changes over time in the specific questions. I believe you are looking at the program I revised to list the variables for types of liquids and foods in groups. You should look at the questionnaire and variable list to review what goes where, with the goal of matching the EBF percentage in the relevant table. Sometimes there are subtle distinctions, for example whether yogurt is a liquid. I hope that a careful reading of the relevant part of the final report will help too.
