Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

For your purpose, and in order to satisfy your supervisor, I suggest that you just work with the KR file and calculate the proportion of children born in the past five years who died in the first month of age (b7=0), the first year of age (b7=0 through 11), or the first five years of age (you can get that just from b5=0). These proportions must not be interpreted as rates (this is important!) but they will be good indicators of mortality within subgroups.
