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

Virtually all of the information about the mother is always attached to the child in the KR file. In that file, the "v" variables refer to the mother. All you need to do is to keep those variables. Then keep the mv variables that are in the MR file. No additional merging, beyond what I already described, is needed. Just retain the v and mv variables and you should be able to do everything you want to do.
