The Kenya DHS 2014 uses a split sample with a long or a short household questionnaire and a long or a short women's questionnaire. The short questionnaires are subsets of the long questionnaires. The questions that exist in both the short and long questionnaire are used to provide disaggregated estimates at the county level. The questions only included in the long questionnaire only provide estimates for indicators at higher levels of disaggregation. The short questionnaires were used in the same half of all households used for the men's questionnaire.

The data for the breastfeeding indicators were only collected in the short questionnaire. With the IR or KR files, the easiest way to identify these cases is actually using v044 (selection for domestic violence) as the same households selected for the men's survey were eligible for the domestic violence module. Thus to select the cases you need for analysis, select case where v044 != .

Note, though, that the sample was not designed to produce county level estimates for these breastfeeding indicators (otherwise these questions would have also been included in the short questionnaire).
