Objective:
To determine feeding habits and dietetic ingestion du-ring the first year of life and to assess whether these are in accordance with dietetic recommendations.
Patients And Methods:
A total of 171 healthy infants between 1 and 12 months old were studied. Two types of inquiry were carried out: 24-recall and weekly frequency of food.
Results:
The percentage and duration of breastfeeding was low. Feeding with cows milk was more frequent than with breast milk from the age of 3 months. Thirty-eight per-cent of children had whole cows milk from the age of 6 months. Complementary feeding was introduced in accordance with international recommendations. The ingestion of energy and nutrients was also in accordance with the recommendations of the RDA during the first 6 months of life. In children aged 6-12 months, energy in-take was sufficient but diets were high in proteins and II-pIns and fairly high in carbohydrates.
Conclusion:
Ingestion of micronutrients and minerals are higher than is recommended except in the case of zinc.
