I believe the first step would be to merge the BR file (base file) and IR file so the child becomes the unit of analysis. After this I would need to generate 3 variables for mortality (0/1 for whether the child died before the ages of one month, one year or 5 years) and 3 variables for mortality sample (0/1 for whether the child was born at least a month before date of interview, a year before date of interview or 5 years before date of interview). Then my regressions will have the outcome as the mortality measure and the sample I will use to estimate the regression will be of children who are exposed to the mortality risk.

Could you help me with the Stata code required to do this, please?
