Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
You should use the KR file, the only file in which young children are the cases. This file already contains most of the mother's variables that are in the IR file. You only need to merge the KR file with the IR file if there are specific woman-level variables that you need for the analysis but are not already in the KR file. To do the merge you would match v001 v002 v003 in the KR file with v001 v002 v003 in the IR file. Similarly, you only need to merge the KR file with the PR (or HR) file if there are specific household-level variables you need that are not already in the KR file. In this merge, you would match v001 v002 in the KR file with hv001 hv002 in the PR (or HR) file.
