Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify the correct child in the PR file when b16 is missing from the KR file. We have tried alternatives and they are not reliable. However, it's likely that the variables you want are the household-level variables on water and sanitation, etc. that are on the mother's record in the PR file. You would match v001 v002 v003 for each child in the KR file with hv001 hv002 hvidx in the PR file. This would be a 1:m or m:1 merge because a woman can have more than one child in the KR file.

Note that the child's record in the KR file already includes most of the mother's variables that are in the IR file.
