The individual recode you are using has one observation per woman interviewed. Each woman can have a number of children - that is why you are seeing "repeat" values, there is one variable for each child in this recode (they should have an extension such as _01 and _02 after the main variable name, those numbers relating to the child number).
If you want to know about each child, you could use the "births" recode, which has as an observation each child ever born to an interviewed woman. Then you'd have one variable per observation giving you the information you want.
