Our aim in this longitudinal study was to determine predictors of folate and cobalamin status in infancy. Data were collected from 364 mother-infant pairs with blood measurements from pregnancy (similar to 18 wk; n = 149), newborns (cord serum; n = 361), and 6-mo-old partially or exclusively breast-fed children (n = 221). Serum/plasma folate, cobalamin, holotranscobalamin (holoTC), holohaptocorrin (holoHC), methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total homocysteine (tHcy) at birth and 6 mo were related to maternal vitamin status, parity, lifestyle variables, and anthropometry. In multivariate analyses, the strongest predictors of folate at birth and 6 mo were maternal folate and cord folate, respectively (P < 0.01). Maternal holoTC best predicted cobalamin status at birth (positively associated with cord cobalamin, holoTC, and holoHC; inversely with MMA and tHcy; P
