I would suggest that you take the PR file as your main file, rather than the KR file, and then merge the women's data onto the PR file data (probably coming from the KR file, and matching using b16) for those children whose mothers were interviewed. This avoids the messy weighting issue as you can just use the household weight for all cases. The entries in the KR file are a subset of the entries in the PR file for the stunting data so I think this would be a simpler and logically cleaner solution.
