Notes
Flag variable for breastfeeding, indicating types of problems found in editing the duration of breastfeeding.
Codes for the flag variables (V429, V432, V435) are as follows:
0 - No problem.
1 - Duration exceeds interval between birth and succeeding birth (for amenorrhea and abstinence) or date of interview (for breastfeeding).
2 - Duration exceeds interval but only by one month. In DHS I the duration would have been modified to fit the interval in this case. This modification is made to the calculated months of postpartum amenorrhea (V428), postpartum abstinence (V431) or breastfeeding (V434) for DHS II.
3 - Duration of breastfeeding exceeds the age at death of the child; or the response "Not resumed sexual relations" is inconsistent with later pregnancies.
