Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

I recommend that you work from the KR file, that is, the PKKR file. If you don't have it, you should download it from DHS. It has one record for each child under five. The youngest child will be given by bidx=1 (or hidx=1). bord gives the birth order of the child, beginning with the woman's first birth, for which bord=1. In the KR file, the mother's variables are attached to each child, so you lose nothing by working with the KR file rather than the IR file.

I don't know what you mean by "current" child. If you want just children who are currently alive, they will be the children with b5=1.
