Interviewer instructions
The questions BF3-BF18 asks about what the child was fed in the preceding 24 hours. The purpose of these questions is to determine what liquids or foods the child was given. Make sure that the respondent understands the question, particularly what is meant by 'yesterday, during the day or night'. Circle the code corresponding to the response. If the mother/primary caretaker does not know the answer, repeat the question using other local words for the fluid or food. If the answer is still not known, circle '8' for 'DK'. Note that for infant formula, milk, yogurt, and solid/semi-solid mushy food, the number of times the child had the food is also asked. Survey Coordinators: Supply interviewers with local terms for foods and liquids. If it is common practice to feed children liquids or food not covered by the items in the questionnaire, revise the terms used in these questions. Circle the code corresponding to the response.
