Hi,

I am want to calculate exclusive breastfeeding by using BDHS-2011 data. I developed the following do file and used birth record data. But it give the different result reported in Table 11.2 in BDHS-2011 report.

clear all
set more off
use "D:\ALL BDHS STATA\Child mortality\BDBR61FL.DTA"
keep if v008 - b3 < 24
gen long momid = ((8000 + v001) * 10000) + (v002 * 100) + v003
by momid (bidx), sort: gen byte lastchild = sum(b5) == 1 & sum(b5[_n - 1]) == 0
gen byte exlbreast_subpop = 1 if (v008 - b3) < 6 & lastchild == 1 & b9 == 0
replace exlbreast_subpop= 0 if exlbreast_subpop==.
label define exlbreast_subpop 1"exclusively breastfeed" 0"Not exclusively breastfeed"
label values exlbreast_subpop exlbreast_subpop
tab exlbreast_subpop

Can anyone help me in this matter? It would be better if anyone suggest me what is wrong and supply coding accordingly.

I think at least one of the differences is that you did not weight your results. Try adding this:

egen strata = group(v024 v025), label
svyset [pweight=weight], psu(v021) strata(strata)

svy: tab exlbreast_subpop

Hello,

I am also trying to calculate the EBF rate from Philippines 2008 DHS. I have used the commands below along with the weighting, but still not getting the same figure as in other sources. Did you manage to figure out the right commands?

Thank you
