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

It may help to distinguish between neonatal deaths and stillbirths. Neonatal deaths are in the KR file because there was a live birth. Stillbirths are NOT in the KR file, but come from the calendar in the IR file. I would recommend that you construct one file for neonatal deaths, and one file for stillbirths, and then append them. You could do the various merges BEFORE appending.
