get all the undernutrition (child and mother) indicators into one data.frame and then merged all in one go with the maps prior to mapping.

The state data.frame with undernutrition prevalence for child and mother would look something like this:

Now, you will just have two main map objects for state and locality level results. And these will be the objects you will need to plot the maps. This will be a lot more efficient than having multiple mapping objects to work with.
