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

The following Stata lines should do this, in the limited sense noted in comments at the end. You will have to change the paths.

use e:\DHS\DHS_data\BR_files\CIBR61FL.dta, clear
keep if b16>0 & b16<98
sort v001 v002 v003 b16
save e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\temp1.dta, replace

gen sibs_in_hh=1

collapse (sum) sibs_in_hh, by(v001 v002 v003)
replace sibs_in_hh=sibs_in_hh-1
tab sibs_in_hh,m

sort v001 v002 v003
merge v001 v002 v003 b16 using e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\temp1.dta

tab _merge
tab sibs_in_hh,m
drop _merge

* This file will include the number of siblings (children with the same mother) who are living in the same
* household, WITH THE MOTHER. Siblings who are not living with the mother will be much harder to identify.
