Interviewer instructions
This question refers to the length of breastfeeding - number of months child breastfed.
For those who are no longer breastfeeding, ask the mother/guardians how long they breastfed. It is important to try o get as accurate information as possible. Probe and urge the respondent to remember how old the child was when she/he completely stopped breastfeeding.
Record the age in completed months the child was when the child stopped breastfeeding. For example, if the child stopped breastfeeding at 9 months and one week, record 9.
For children still breastfeeding, the interviewer need not pose the question to the respondent. The age of child in completed months will be equal to the length of breastfeeding. If the response is Don't Know, code 99.
Probe and do not just take given number. Length of breastfeeding cannot be greater than age in months.
