Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The PR file and/or KR file would be better for your purposes. In the PR file, each member of the household, including children, has their own record. Height, weight, and Z scores for children under 5 are in the hc variables. The KR file has a separate record for each child born in the past 5 years for the women who were interviewed. Height, weight, and Z scores are in the hw variables, with the same numbering as for the hc variables in the PR file.
The PR file can actually be constructed from the HR file with a "reshape long" command in Stata. Similarly, the KR file can be constructed from the IR file with "reshape long". But you don't have to construct them--they are among the standard recode files.
Let us know if you have any difficulties.
