  7. Children’s QuestionnaireBREASTFEEDING MODULE Content • Caretakers are asked about the following for each child under five • Whether child was ever and is currently breastfed • What liquids or foods child was fed in preceding 24 hours • How many times child was given non-liquid foods in 24 hours prior to interview
