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

The combination v001 v002 v003 will identify the mother. A mother will appear once in the IR file, but she will appear multiple times in the KR file, once for each child born in the past five years. The unique identifier for the child will be the combination v001 v002 v003 bidx. For a given mother, bidx will be 1, 2, etc., for the children born in the past five years.
