Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

In the 2021 BF survey, the age of the child in months is determined by b19 (6-23, inclusive). In older surveys, age in months was given by v008-b3. Are you using b19?

The indicator is limited to the youngest child in this age range. This would be the child with the minimum value of bidx among the children with b19 in the 6-23 range and with b5=1 (the child is alive). In addition, although I don't see it stated, there may be a requirement that the child is living with the mother (b9=0). That is, it would be the child with the minimum value of bidx among children who have b19 in the 6-23 range and have b9=0 (b5 is always 1 if b9=0). Are you ok with all of those things?

If you still don't get a match, can you post the Stata code for how you recoded v414 into the 5 food groups? I just don't have time to do that from scratch.
