Abstract
The two articles1,2 on lactobezoar in the April issue of Pediatrics presented the case histories of nine preterm infants with this complication. Other centers have apparently had similar experiences suggesting that occurrence of lactobezoar is on the increase. An analysis of their articles indicates that seven of nine infants on the day of diagnosis of lactobezoar were receiving formula at the rate of 187 to 253 ml/kg/day on the basis of birth weight. Of the remainder, one received 133 mg/kg/day on the fifth day of life and the other received only 60 ml/kg/day on day 9.Keywords
