Interviewer instructions

In this question, we try to find out the total number of times that the child was given non-liquid foods the day before the interview. Count snacks given to the child between regular meals separately. If the number is 7 or more, record '7' in the box.

Example: The respondent reports her child was breastfed 8 times the previous day and fed porridge in the morning and evening. The child also ate a mashed banana during the afternoon. Record '3' in Q.556 since the child ate solid/semisolid foods 3 times the day before the interview.
