Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:

The data on child nutrition are specific to the child--usually just the youngest child--and are easiest to analyze with the child (KR) file. The same variables appear in the IR file but with subscripts, even though they are empty for subscripts other than "_1". The estimates in the DHS reports are always prepared with the KR file. To repeat, you would get the same results from the IR file but the data processing would be a little more difficult.
