Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

For children who were weighed, birthweight is given by m19 in the KR and BR files. The label is as follows:

. label list M19
M19:
9996 not weighed at birth
9998 don't know

All of the other numeric codes correspond are weights in kilograms (multiplied by 1000). About 16% of children have codes other than 9996 or 9998, i.e., were weighed.
