Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Neonatal deaths are those with b7=0. Post-neonatal have 1<=b7<=11. Months of age at death are completed months, so in the first month a child's age is 0 months. Deaths under 5 years, i.e. before the 5th birthday, have b7<=59.

Stata code for the child mortality chapter of the main report, including stillbirths and perinatal mortality, is in our new GitHub site. Go to www.dhsprogram.com, the Data tab, and click on Data Users Forum. The link to the GitHub site is in the lower left corner of that page. You should be able to do most of what you want by using the BR (or KR) file, in which births are cases. To get at stillbirths you will probably need to get into the calendar data. I suggest that you start by doing as much as you can without the calendar.
