| NOTE: This table is based on a survey that sampled children born in 2001 and was designed to collect information about them when the children were about 9 months of age (i.e., 8 to 10 months). As shown in the table, some children were older than this, although only 6.5 percent were over 13 months of age. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
