Description

Definition

For children born in the five years preceding the survey, BRSFEDCAT indicates whether the child was ever breastfed, and, if so, whether the child is still breastfeeding.

The related variable BRSFEDUR (M4) reports the number of months of breastfeeding for children who are no longer being breastfed. BRSFEDMO (M5) reports the calculated number of months of breastfeeding, including children who were still breastfeeding at the time of the interview.
