Description

For sample children under 2 who were ever fed with a bottle (not including bottles with plain water) (BOTFEDEV) and sample children age 2 to 5 who were still fed with a bottle (not including bottles with plain water) (BOTFEDNOW), BOTFEDAY reports answers to the question, "During the past 2 weeks, on how many days was [child] put to bed with a bottle at bedtime or naptime? Do not include bottles with plain water."

In 1991, these questions on bottle-feeding were part of the sample child questionnaire; in 1998, they were in the sample child Preventive Health Module related to "dental health in children."

Comparability

The changes in the universe (i.e. the age of the sample children included) limits comparability over time.
