I created an exclusive breastfeeding variable using the 2014 Lesotho data, but my exclusive breastfeeding rate does not match the rate in the Final Report.

Does anyone have any ideas on where the error in my SAS code is? The rate I am coming up with is 3.77% which is much lower than the rate in the report.

set dhs.lsbr71fl;
age = v008 - b3; /*v008 is century month code of interview; b3 is century month code for dob of child */


if age <= 6 and b5 = 1 and b9 = 0;
/*subset down to living children ages 12 mos and younger living with the mother.
b5 is whether child is alive or dead at time of interview
b9 is person baby lives with and 0 is the mom*/

I used the following SAS code to reproduce results on Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18 Table 11.3 Breastfeeding status by age.
However, my results are slightly different from what is reported. I was wondering if I am missing something. Thank you for your help.

Hello Zelalem,

The issue is small. Instead of computing child age from (v008-b3), just use b19. You can read more on b19 from the DHS website.
The code below will work to reproduce table 11.3.
