I am not able to get the N in table 10.10 of NFHS 3 report for India;
Table 10.10 Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices:
"Percentage of youngest children age 6-23 months living with the mother who are fed with appropriate feeding practices based upon number of food groups and times they are fed during the day or night preceding the survey by breastfeeding status and background characteristics, India, 2005-06"

I am using the following:

keep if bidx==1 & b9==0
gen agech=v008-b3 if b5==1
recode agech (0/5=1 "0-5")(6/23=2 "6-23")(24/max=3 "2+"), g(chage1)

However, the table has 15,066 as total number of youngest children age 6-23 months living with the mother.
I am getting 13,879 and is not able to understand what I am missing.
Kindly suggest.

Thanks and Regards
Arin
