Description

For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, NBFEDROSWAT_01 indicates whether the child was given rose water in the first three days after delivery (for the last birth).

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording (see below), NBFEDROSWAT_01 is largely comparable across samples.

Comparability - Standard DHS

NBFEDROSWAT_01 is based on an open-ended question about foods given to newborns in the first three days after delivery, included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phases IV through VI. NBFEDROSWAT_01 is a country-specific response category.

In Phase IV, the standard questionnaire asks, "What was (NAME) given to drink before your milk began flowing regularly?"

In Phases V and VI, the standard questionnaires ask, "What was (NAME) given to drink?"
