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

The child nutrition variables are in the KR file. That file includes most of the variables for the mother that are in the IR file, but it does not include the DV variables, so you need to merge the IR and KR files, using v001 v002 v003 in both files. For this merge, note that the mother appears only once in the IR file but can appear more than once in the KR file (if she had more than one child in the past 5 years). If you have more questions about the merge, please say what survey you are using. Please also look at the Guide to DHS Statistics ( https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.cfm) for more information about the variables in the standard recode files.
