Dear Sir,

Sorry for spamming your inbox again and again.
This time again with earlier same table, Table 61 Initial breastfeeding (attached below).
I am looking to the second column, Percentage who started breastfeeding within one hour of birth. The table says that 29.9% of Urban and 33.8% of Rural children have been put into breast within one hour of birth.

myStata code;
recode m34 (0/100 = 1) (101/236 = 0), gen(bf1hour)
svy: tab bf1hour if age < 24 & midx==1 & v102 == 1
svy: tab bf1hour if age < 24 & midx==1 & v102 == 2

and our results say

. svy: tab bf1hour if age < 24 & midx==1 & v102 == 1
(running tabulate on estimation sample)

Number of strata = 24 Number of obs = 828
Number of PSUs = 282 Population size = 858.55407
Design df = 258


RECODE of
m34 (when
child put
to
breast) proportions

0 .6929
1 .3071

Total 1

Key: proportions = cell proportions

. svy: tab bf1hour if age < 24 & midx==1 & v102 == 2
(running tabulate on estimation sample)

Number of strata = 72 Number of obs = 3735
Number of PSUs = 917 Population size = 3725.5765
Design df = 845


RECODE of
m34 (when
child put
to
breast) proportions

0 .6518
1 .3482

I agree it is a small difference, 30.71 in place of 29.9% and 34.82 in place of 33.8%, still, I am asking you because I got an exact matching solution from you for earlier problems.

Looking forward to hearing from you
Thanks in advance
