Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

In the IR file, the cases are women. The number of children ever born is a characteristic of the woman. It is coded as v201 in the IR file. All the variables you mention are in the IR file.

In the BR file, the cases are children, but the BR file includes virtually all the information about the mother on the child's record. You do not need to merge the IR and BR files. All the variables you mention are already in the BR file.
