43 children, born with a weight of 690 to 1000 g, were observed for a period of 20 to 67 days during the first trimester after delivery. The children were divided into two groups in accordance with the feeding. 27 children of the first group received Humana 0; 26 children of the second group were fed with Bebe 0, sweetened with 5% of sugar for increased energy. All children received the adapted milks well. There were no manifestations of intolerance. The mean daily addition of weight was 28.5 g for children, fed with Humana 0 and 27.3 g for those fed with Bebe 0 and this was enough to assure optimal physical development of children. The children, fed with Bebe 0, received considerably larger amount of carbohydrates. The protein intake in both groups was almost equal. There were no considerable differences in respect to KEB. Higher intake of energy (p less than 0.01) was found in children, fed with Bebe 0, without gaining additional body mass.
