Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

In some statistical software, missing values and not applicable values are considered to be the same and noted as missing. The cases that don't apply for the case of M55Z are those children who were not breastfed. By excluding these children, you will reduce the number of missing cases. For the remaining cases of missing, there is no way to go back and get that data, since the information was lost during data collection/fieldwork.
