Dear User, to use these variables V469E, V469F and V469X { at least one child born in the last two years and living with respondent }.
CSPro shows partial coding in the recode as follows:
 { times gave child tinned/powdered/fresh milk }
      V469E  = Q650DN;
      { times gave child infant formula }
      V469F  = Q650EN;
      { times gave child yogurt }
      V469X  = Q650GN;

Take a look at the woman's questionnaire and look at the skips to determine where you would encounter data which is not applicable. Missing data (different from Not Applicable) is identified as:
Quote:

9999, 999, 99, 9 This question should have been answered by the respondent, but the questionnaire
contained no information for this variable (missing data). This code is mainly used
in paper based surveys.
Take a look at your frequencies to help you in your analysis. Also take a look at The Guide to DHS Statistics
Please look at pages 127-128 for additional information on how missings are taken into account.
