Hello,
I am working with the Zambia 2013-14 datasets -- and have a question about determining breastfeeding rates.
Similar to Table 11.3 in the report, I'd like to calculate what percentage of children are exclusively breastfed (by maternal age, hence my need to use the data rather than figures from the report).
The Guide to DHS Statistics, on page 123, states that exclusive breastfeeding status is determined via a 24-hour recall.
But, in the Zambia dataset I downloaded, the variables that seem like they would indicate this -- v407 and v408 in the ZMKR61FL.DTA file -- are marked "na" and are all missing values.
Can you help me figure out how to replicate the values from Table 11.3 in the report, using the data that are available?
Thank you!

I'm also not getting figures in the report. Believe I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to replicate Table 11.3:Breastfeeding status by age using Ghana DHS 2014 (children file). This is how I started with Stata:
keep if midx==1&b9==0&hw1<24
tab hw1
recode hw1(0/1=1 "0-1")(2/3=2 "2-3")(4/5=3 "4-5")(6/8=4 "6-8")(9/11=5 "9-11")(12/17=6 "12-17")(18/23=7 "18-23")(24/59=.), gen(child_age)
tab child_age
tab child_age[w=v005]
But the result of the above did not correspond with the report figures. Any help on that and how to proceed to replicate Table 11.3: Breastfeeding status by age.
Thanks
