Description

Definition

MAFEDTINMILK24H indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child tinned or powdered milk during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime. This variable describes a characteristic of the mother rather than the child.

The complementary variable MAFEDFRMILK24H (V412) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child fresh animal milk during the previous day. The complementary variable MAFEDGENMILK24H (V411) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child any milk, such as tinned, powdered, or fresh animal milk, during the previous day.

Although the question wording asks about foods given to a specific child during the previous day, responses relate to the mother, so all young children of the mother are coded the same way. If the mother reported she gave her youngest surviving child tinned or powdered milk in the previous day, all of her children in the data are coded as "yes," including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.

A positive response in MAFEDTINMILK24H thus does not necessarily indicate whether a particular child of the mother drank tinned or powdered milk during the previous day. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ the variable FEDTINMILK24H (M37E) to determine whether the child drank tinned or powdered milk during the previous day. See Comparability.

The related variable MAFEDTINMILK24HX (V469E) reports the number of times the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child tinned or powdered milk during the previous 24 hours. MAFEDTINMILKWKD (V470E) reports the number of days the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child tinned or powdered milk during the past week.
