Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

After your first line ("use...., clear") you need to insert this line: "drop if b16==0 | b16==." . The KR and BR files include children who have died or who are not living with the mother, and for them b16 will be "0" or "." . There may be more than one such child with a specific combination of v001 and v002. Otherwise you are ok.
