Two 9-month-old breastfed infants presented with congestive heart failure secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy. No underlying aetiology was found, except for the presence of advanced rickets. Following treatment with vitamin D and calcium supplements, both infants quickly recovered normal myocardial function.
