Abstract:

This study aimed to understand the relationships between mothers and malnourished children in feeding times. Exploratory study based on qualitative data analysis. Data collection was performed at home by means of participant observation with eight mother-child dyads and three grandmothers. From the thematic analysis, the following themes were revealed: Food and interaction; The daily care of the child. Families’ life situation was unfavorable. Mothers and grandmothers were responsible for preparing family meals, feeding and child care. The mother-child relationships were permeated by gestures of affection, slaps, scolding, and threats during feeding and there were cases of negligence, physical and psychological violence in daily care. Some mothers and grandmothers spoke quietly and cared for the child to be fed and cleaned while others mothers showed little patience for dealing with the child and they got irritated easily. Mothers’ life stories were marked by adverse events and most of them faced emotional problems that could reverberate in relationships with children at the feeding times and daily care. The mother-child interactions at home are not always favored the feeding and responsive care, which may further worsen the nutritional status of these children.
