Brucellosis is a zoonosis transmittable to humans. The transmission is mainly by consumption of unpasteurized milk or its products. Cases in the first year are very uncommon and other modes of transmission are responsible at this age. We report two children with brucellosis diagnosed at 7 and 2 months old where the probable way of transmission is the breast milk.
