Please read the Recode Manual and the Guide to DHS Statistics for answers to these and other similar questions.
For education, v106 is the highest grade of education attended and v107 is the highest year or grade completed WITHIN that level. You would not use v107 without also using v106. Please also see v133 which provides the total years of education, based on v106 and v107, and v149 which provides a further categorization of the levels of education.
For poverty we use the wealth index quintiles in v190 (see the Wealth Index topic page).
For weight at birth, m19 provides the weight, but is typically only reported by about half of respondents - other simply don't know it. m19a is not the weight, but provides information about the source of the birth weight.
You might also look at m18 - size at birth, which is typically provided by almost all women, and gives an estimate of the size of the child.
