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

We cannot help with the details. This a generic question about failure or survival models. You have b19, which is age in months, as you say. If b7=0, then the child died during the first month. If b7>0 the child died later. If b7=. (a dot, for Not Applicable), then the child was still living at the time of the survey (also indicated with b5=1). For early neonatal deaths, you use b6. For example, if b6<107, (the 1 indicates days) then the child died in the first week.
