		Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:  
 
Usually, v008-b3 will be the same as hw1, and you can use hw1.  However, I see that in this file there are 15 cases in which v008-b3=hw1+1.  Why, I don't know (I will look into that), so go ahead and use v008-b3. 
 
Your method for selecting the youngest child living with the mother is not quite correct. After "keep if age<25 & b9==0" you could enter these lines, which will sort each woman's children who are living with her by age, and then select the youngest one: 
 
sort age
egen sequence=seq(),by(caseid)
tab sequence
drop if sequence==1
drop sequence
  
I don't understand what you are trying to do with your recode of m71.  Why  are you recoding it into 1000 and 1001?
