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

The under-five mortality rates are compound rates that can only be calculated for aggregates. To proceed with individual-level date, you might try pooling the BR files from successive rounds and working with the child's date of birth (b3), survived / died (b5), age at death (b7) and covariates. You could try a survival / hazard model.
