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

Stunting and wasting are not based on birthweight. They are calculated from the height and weight measurements (and age). Also we do not have birthweight in the surveys--just a subjective and qualitative recollection by the mother. Have you looked at the chapters on the nutritional status of children in the survey reports? The reports describe what is available in the data files.
