6- Births & Infants Within the Last Year and Breastfeeding Status

Data Source

The Number of Clients Who Have Given Birth Within The Last Year or Who are Infants is calculated from ‘Have you given birth in the last year or is this visit for an infant?’ selected on any MCH Service Form during the date range.

Form: MCH Service Form
Question:

  • Have you given birth in the last year or is this visit for an infant?

Troubleshooting Tip

Records in ‘Unknown/Not Reported’ are from MCH service forms where the question ‘Have you given birth in the last year or is this visit for an infant?’ was left blank.  These blank responses should be corrected to ensure high quality of data for this report.
