ABSTRACT BHM composition and nutritional adequacy for infants < 1500g has not been established. We have randomized 65 infants < 1500g to ad lib feeds of F (Similae Special Care, a
protein and mineral enriched formula designed to sustain intrauterine-like growth) or frozen BHM until infants weighed 2000g. BHM was low in fat (2.3%) and calories (bomb analysis 58
cal/100g), a finding also recently noted by Carroll. BHM infants ingested more milk (192 vs 162 ml/kg/d) but fewer calories (121 vs 142 cal/kg/d); grew less in weight (14 vs 30 g/d), length
(0.7 vs 1.1 cm/wk), and FOC (0.8 vs 1.2 cm/wk); and at 37 wks post-conception were less responsive to visual & auditory stimuli (Brazelton orientation items, mean score = 2.4 vs 3.6; p
< 0.05). Amino acids, BUN, and pH values were similar. Findings at blind evaluation 92 wks post-conception: Bayley developmental scores were higher for F than BHM infants at 92 wks
(PDI:92 vs 78; p<0.05; MDI:89 vs 76, p=0.13). Birthweight, gest. age, and need for ventilation were similar for BHM and F infants seen at 92 wks. F supports near intrauterine growth rates
and may confer short and long term advantages over BHM for infants < 1500g. *Actual age minus age at which measurements equal 50th percentile. ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR INFORMATION AUTHORS AND
