Resumo:
O artigo apresenta a importância da capacitação dos profissionais envolvidos com alimentação das crianças em creches, para que estes ofereçam alimentos adequados e promovam ações para que os lactentes incorporem práticas alimentares saudáveis desde o nascimento. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o impacto de um treinamento de educadores de creches nas percepções e práticas acerca da alimentação infantil. Para avaliação do impacto do treinamento foi utilizada abordagem qualitativa, com aplicação da técnica do grupo focal. Foram realizados 16 grupos, sendo oito com as creches expostas ao treinamento e oito com as não-expostas, tendo em média de seis a 11 participantes por instituição, os quais apresentavam idades entre 19 e 66 anos. O discurso das educadoras que participaram do treinamento está pontuado de indícios de pequenas mudanças, ou pelo menos, de reconhecimento de que é preciso e possível mudar. Destaca-se a relevância de elaborar e executar programas de treinamento e educação nutricional para educadores de creches com supervisão contínua dos efeitos da capacitação como estratégia de saúde infantil.
