"We have ample evidence that breastmilk alone is insufficient for optimal
(definition here the problem) growth in the tiniest infants (<1500 gm).  I do
not want to see the osteoporosis, rickets poor weight gain, and slow head
growth come back "

so pamela, could you tell us what happens in zimbabwe about this issue? what
about those of you who are in other countries besides the usa, could you
please comment on what is normal in terms of treating preemies where you are?
do the tiniest infants simply die and preclude needing feeding, or do you
have significant amounts of rickets, poor weight gain and slow head growth in
these babies?
