There are three excellent articles on premature infants and human milk feeding in: Seminars in Perinatology Vol 18 No 6 ( December 1994), Breastfeeding in the Hospital Lawrence Gartner MD, guest editor. "Human milk for the Hospitalized Preterm Infant," by Rishard Schandler and Nancy Hurst (476-484) "Digestion and the Premature Infant: The Effects of Human Milk," by Margit Hamosh (485-494) "Immonological Protection of the Premature Newborn by Human Milk," by Armond Goldman et al ( 495-499) The entire volume is an excellent resource. It is absolutely packed with useful information for the many "hospital problems" LC's see. It should be a welcome part of any LC's library Contact WB Saunders Co for reprints. Hope I didn't break any rules here, but I found this information invaluable. Marie Davis
