Brief Summary

Lipid profile of full-term infants on different regimens. The aim of the study is to compare infant's lipid profiles on different feeding regimen during the first 6 months of life and its correlation with their mothers' lipid profiles (exclusive breastfeeding and mixed feeding) and to compare infants' lipid profiles on different feeding regimen with each other (including those on exclusive formula feeding).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • comparison between lipid profiles of the infants of the 3 groups

    analysis of the results of lipid profiles of infants on different feeding regimens at the age of 14 weeks and 6 months

    baseline

  • correlation of lipid profiles of infants and their mothers

    analysis of the results of lipid profiles of infants on exclusive breast feeding and mixed feeding (breast and formula feeding) and the results of lipid profiles of their mothers

    baseline

Study Arms (3)

breastfed group

Infants on exclusive breast feeding for the first 6 months of life and their mothers

Other: Lipid profile

formula fed group

Infants on exclusive formula feeding for the first 6 months of life

Other: Lipid profile

mixed fed group

Infants on mixed feeding (formula \& breast feeding) and their mothers

Other: Lipid profile

Interventions

3 ml of venous blood from the breastfed and infants and mothers of the breastfed and mixed fed infants will be taken under aseptic precautions for determination of triglycerides (TG), cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), very low density lipoprotein (LDL) at the age of 14 ± 2 weeks and the age of 6 months.
