Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The KR file has one record for each child. The cmc of birth is b3. No subscript (such as _01) is needed; the index for the child is bidx. The age of the mother at the time of the birth is given in years by int((b3-v011)/12), The BMI of the mother in both the IR and KR files is v445.
