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

If you limit the files to surviving children, then b5 will equal "1" for all cases and b7 will be NA (".). You reduced the files to children who survived AND were living in the same household as the mother. To analyze mortality you must go back and reconstruct the files, retaining all children.
