Thank you so much for your response. I used your commands and have constructed the data for children and parents in one file. I have now n=920461 (all ages) and 3026 variables. Hope that's correct. I am doing the checks as you mentioned to make sure it was done right.

I just need to confirm this:

As I need data for children aged between 0-5 years who live with both of their parents and are single births. The sample size would be around 1,70,000. So, when I will use this analytical sample further in my analysis, will the weights be still representative or it wouldn't matter if we use or don't use weights as they are not any more representative at the national or subnational level?

I am sorry for coming back to representativeness question again and again.

Your response is always very helpful. Looking forward to another one. Thank you
