get_mmf_bf_6to8(q4, q8, age)

get_mmf_bf_9to23(q4, q8, age)

get_mmf_nonbf(q4, q8, nonbf_frq, age)

get_nonbf_frq(q6bnum, q6cnum, q6dnum, q8)

Arguments

mmf_bf

to The binary variable indicates that the overall breastfed child received minimum meal frequency or not.

mmf_nonbf

The binary variable indicates that the overall non-breastfed child received minimum meal frequency or not.
