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

Are you using Stata? That's the main package used by the DHS analysis team. Have you looked at the different data files? The KR file has children under five as cases, and most of the mother's information is included on the child's record. Please look at that file and see if it has the variables you need for the child and the mother. Then look at the MR file and determine which variables from the father you would like to attach to the child. Attaching the father's information is possible for children who have a code other than 0 or NA for hv113 in the household file. Other postings describe that merge but let us know if you have difficulty.
