Dear DHS team,

I would like to confirm my STATA analysis on 8 IYCF core indicators for Indonesian DHS 2012. I found slightly different rates for most indicators. I have followed the discussion in DHS forum and applied the syntaxes.
Here are my findings and the differences with the DHS report:

My analysis DHS report Differences
Indicator Rate (%) Rate (%)
Early Initiation of breastfeeding (0-23mo) 50.02 49.30 0.72
Exclusive Breastfeeding (0-5mo) 42.61 41.50 1.11
Continued Breastfeeding at 1 year (12-15mo) 77.21 77.00 0.21
Introduction to Soft and Semi Solid Food (6-8mo) 90.37 91.00 -0.63
Minimum Dietary Diversity (6-23mo) 58.20 58.20 -
Minimum Meal Frequency (6-23mo) 65.80 66.10 -0.30
Minimum Acceptable Diet (6-23mo) 36.14 37.00 -0.86
Consumption of Iron-rich or iron-fortified foods (6-23mo) 54.21 n/a

I am sending you my syntaxes in attachment, I have checked several times, but could not figure out the reason for such discrepancy.
many thanks for your help
warm regards
Ha'i
