Following is a response from DHS Senior Nutrition Research Lead, Rukundo Benedict:

The Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2022 Key Indicators Report, uses the latest IYCF definitions from the WHO-UNICEF 2021 infant and young child feeding guidelines: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/978924001838.

In table 7.2 the "Breastfeeding and consuming other milk" category is defined as children fed breast milk plus animal milk, and/or infant formula, and/or animal milk-based yogurt drinks.
