Dear Shireen
Thank you very much for your reply.

I was somehow not clear with what I want (in my earlier questions). I have thought of the same thing.
let me be precise, my causal variable of interest is asked to women and not of anyone. Thus, I use combined IR files across survey (2000, 2005, 2011 and 2016).
Initially, I studied the effect of my causal variable on some characteristics of mother's for instance BMI using combined IR files only. Now I like to extend the analysis to see intergenerational effects of the variable on child growth measures (stunting, wasting and so on). In my view, to get my causal variable of interest in the KR files it must be merged with combined IR files isn't it?
So, I should first link the mothers in IR with children's in KR files. (again I am using all Ethiopian DHS survey, because my causal policy wasn't in place before 2011, I am using a sort of Diff in Diff analysis where post intervention is 2011 and 2016)

Could you please kindly suggest how to do that in stata linking mothers in IR with that of children with BMI measures?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
