thanks so much for your detailed explanation and also recommended reading. I would definitely look into this

yes, it would be great if DHS staff could help me with weighting variables.

When I am using birth-based analysis (that is, merged birth history and women's datasets, creating one women's record per each birth), I assume I do not need to do svyset again in the merged dataset, because I have already done this in birth and women's datasets, using their respective weighting variable. If someone could please confirm this, that would be great. Here is what I did separately in women's and birth datasets before merging them using "joinby....."
thanks
Rinko

gen weight= PesoMEF
svyset HHCLUST [pw=weight], strata(HHDEPAR)

gen weight= NinoMEF
svyset HHCLUST [pw=weight], strata(HHDEPAR)
