. Early infant feeding habits, current dietary intake and serum lipids were investigated in 31 infants, age 6–10 months and 64 children, age 3–4 years. In the infants there was a correlation between serum lipid levels and the amount of saturated fat and the P/S ratio of the diet. No such correlation was found in the 3–4 year old children. Neither was there any correlation between the type and duration of early infant feeding and subsequent serum lipid levels. In both the infants and the 3–4 year old children serum cholesterol concentration correlated with the serum cholesterol concentration in each of the parents.
