Second, exclusive breastfeeding referred to infants who received only breastmilk and vitamins,
mineral supplements and medicines during the last 24 hours. The 2006 survey did not apply a
standard questionnaire as the 2009 survey did. As a result, the prevalence of 25.1% in 2006
is unreliably high. The figure of 15.5% in the 2009 survey should be more reliable. However,
the 2006 MICS, based on a similar definition to the one applied in the 2009 Reproductive Health
Survey, reported 5.4% exclusive breastfeeding among children below 6 months old. There was
therefore progress in the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding between 2006 and 2009.
