Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, NBFEDNO_01 (M55Z_1) indicates whether the child was given nothing (i.e., no supplemental fluids) to drink in the first three days (for the last birth). Some children may have been fed the mother's colostrum, a nourishing milky fluid that comes from the breast before true milk appears.
