You could also use IPUMS-DHS. In IPUMS-DHS, all of the woman's characteristics are attached to children--not just a portion of her characteristics. There is no need to merge files. You just select children as the unit of analysis and then pick all the variables (related to the household, the woman, or the child) you want and download everything in a single file.
Your DHS username (email) and password allow you to log in to IPUMS-DHS.
The latest Indian survey is currently being incorporated and will be available in March.
