Recommendations:.- Be cautious when interpreting EIB and EBF indicators.- Consider using alternative measures like "initiation within one hour" and "quasi-exclusive breastfeeding".- Rely more on CBF indicators for robust comparisons 8/N.

. also raising questions around the familiarity of enumerators and respondents with Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), which is allowed in the EBF definition but may be inconsistently reported across enumerators, respondents, countries & waves. 7/N.

This result warns against interpreting EBF as a measure of breastfeeding prevalence, as a low figure may be due to high prevalence of formula feeding or just occasional ingestion of plain water. 6/N.

For exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), the study found that in many cases, non-exclusivity is due to ingestion of plain water. Including water (quasi-EBF) leads to significant differences (20pp on avg), especially large in West and Middle Africa & slightly decreasing over time. 5/N
