Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Children are the units of analysis in the KR and BR files. The calendar month, calendar year, and century month code are included in the b variables. The Guide to DHS Statistics will help you understand DHS data better: https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.cfm
