Literal question
How long after birth did you first put (name) to the breast?
Post-question
If less than 1 hour, record '00' hours. If less than 24 hours, record hours. Otherwise, record days.
Interviewer instructions
If the mother reports that the baby was put to the breast immediately after birth, circle '000'. Otherwise, record the time in completed hours or days. If less than 1 hour, circle '1' for 'Hours' and record '00' in the space provided. For example, if the woman said she began breastfeeding within 10 minutes of the birth, circle '1' and record '00' hours. If the mother began breastfeeding within 24 hours of the birth, circle '1' and record the number of hours that passed before the baby was put to the breast. If she began breastfeeding 24 hours or more after the birth, circle '2' and record the number of days. Record in completed number of days. For example, if the baby was first breastfed 30 hours after delivery, circle '2' and record '01' days. If the woman does not know or does not remember how long after birth she put the baby to the breast, circle '998'.
