Hi there,

I have also been working in breastfeeding stuffs and I specified children below 24 months by; computing V008-B3<24, the resultant unit is in months. V008 is date of interview and B3 is date of birth.
here is SPSS code,

Compute age=V008-B3.
Select if age<24.

And for ever breastfeed, we need to recode M4 as;

*For EVER BREASTFEED only, which includes (ever breastfeed, not currently) and still breastfeeding.

RECODE M4 (93=1) (95=1) (ELSE=2) INTO EverBF.
VARIABLE LABELS EverBF 'Ever Breastfeeding'.
EXECUTE.

Hope this helps. Please check.

Sanjhama
