For samples included in IPUMS-DHS (available at idhsdata.org), much of the merging between files has already been done for researchers. When the wealth index data or the child biometric data are in separate files in the original DHS data, we have done the merging already. Siminlarly, we have merged the household data to the women's recode files, and we have merged the household and mother's files to the files for children (KR files) and births (BR files). All of the standard DHS surveys for Ethiopia are in IPUMS-DHS; you can find the wealth index variables under their original DHS names or the IPUMS-DHS names of WEALTHQ and WEALTHS.
