Robust standard errors clustered at the household level in brackets. Controls include a third order polynomial in age of the child,
number of brothers and sisters, birth order, household income, mother and father's age, whether the mother works, mother and father's
level of education, mother and father's height and weight, year fixed effects, and community fixed effects.
