I found this general article on toddlers and babies needing adequate fat in their diet, but nothing that addresses specific cholesterol levels in infants and young children (still looking, I'll post again if I find anything). It is a good question, I'd be interested in seeing the correct answer. <http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/02/980204072045.htm> However, given that human milk is high in cholesterol, and that cholesterol is needed for nerve myelination, I would not be too concerned about infants and toddlers having higher levels than you would want to see it adults.
