Abstract:

Timely and appropriate complementary feeding is essential for children healthy growth and development, and the Primary Health Care, especially the Family Health Support Teams, are the ideal locus for developing relevant actions during this period. A cross-sectional that used a questionnaire for mothers and anthropometric evaluation for 324 childrenaimed to develop a complementary feeding inadequacies index and to study its association with socioeconomic, clinic-epidemiological and nutritional variables. For feeding inadequacies quantification an index was createdusing the Delphi Method. High frequencies were observed for all inadequacies, especially for late introduction of solids (80,2%), early introduction of sugar/thickeners (78,1%) and liquids (73,5%). The most significant results of these associations were early weaning of exclusive (p=0,000) and total (p=0,005) breastfeeding, absence of partner (p=0,001) and the mother supporting the family financially (p=0,025). The use of this index identifies higher-risk situations for developing a nutritional assistance action plan, especially when it comes to promoting matrix work.
