Questions and instructions
Literal question
Has(name)ever been breastfed?
Interviewer instructions
This question asks if the child has ever been breastfed. It includes any breastfeeding
experience of the child - not necessarily by the mother/primary caretaker.

Circle the code corresponding to the response. Continue to the next question if the child
was ever breastfed (1). If the child was never breastfed, circle 'No' and skip to BF4. Skip to
BF4 in the case of a 'DK' response as well.
