Description
ANCAREBFEED_ALL indicates whether the woman was given information or counseling about breastfeeding at least once during antenatal care.
ANCAREBFEED_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREBFEED_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREBFEED_02, ANCAREBFEED_03, ANCAREBFEED_04, ANCAREBFEED_05, and ANCAREBFEED_06). For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
