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

I can only reply in terms of Stata. The following Stata program is something I use only for difficult KR/PR merges. It has a lot of redundancy. It includes the sex and age (in months) of the child and the line numbers of the child and the mother. It works on this survey. There will be 244,384 children in the merged file. There will be no cases with missing weights. I hope you can convert to SPSS.
