Like Trevor, I think there is little advantage to your using IPUMS-DHS for your project, since you are focusing on just one sample and some of the variables you need are not in IPUMS-DHS yet. You may use the online documentation for variable of interest from the IPUMS-DHS website, or use the IPUMS-DHS website to locate additional variables to include in your analysis, but still use the KR data file from The DHS Program to run your analyses.
If you can afford to wait 2-4 weeks to run your analysis, you could get the mother's anthropometric data from IPUMS-DHS, since we have harmonized those variables but have not made them public yet--but will do so soon.
If you change your research plan to working with all the Ethiopian samples, then there would be more of a competitive advantage to analyzing data from IPUMS-DHS.
There is a user note on linking between original DHS files and an IPUMS-DHS data extract, if you are determined to follow that path.
