Dear DHS,

I have used the Birth records of infants and their house level characteristics (water source, cooking fuel, and mother's education, wealth index) from the same BR file.
In some countries where there was missing information on household characteristics in the BR file, I merged the PR file using the individual line and extracted the information assuming it represents the child and his mother.
Can I please know whether this method is correct, what are the issues in this approach.
In the case of children, is it possible to refer to their household information such as water source, cooking fuel, and mother's education from the same BR file and PR file.

Thank you so much!
