Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
This is an interesting question, but I suggest that you approach it differently, perhaps as "how does the probability of having another birth after m months change according to the value of m (and other characteristics, such as parity and age)?" You can look into this with the BR file. There has been considerable analysis of birth intervals.
The length of the birth interval is a characteristic of two successive births. It is only defined for a pair of births.
Your question goes beyond the scope of what DHS staff can answer on the forum. Perhaps other users will offer suggestions.
