Notes
Whether the respondent is currently breastfeeding any child. This is based on the entries in the maternity history for children born in the last three/five years. If no child was born in the last three/five years then the respondent is assumed not to be breastfeeding. This variable is created by looking for any child which is still being breastfed, and not just whether the last child is being breastfed.
