Description

For women who gave birth in the three to five years preceding the survey and who ever breastfed the infant, BRSFEDST_01 (M34_1) reports the length of time between the birth and when the woman first breastfed her child (for the last birth). Following DHS convention, intervals reported in hours are coded with a "1" in the first digit, and intervals reported in days are coded with a "2" in the first digit.
