As of six months of life, breastfeeding no longer covers an infant's energy or micronutrient needs, so appropriate complementary feeding should be provided. The objective of this study was to assess the time and adequacy for introducing complementary feeding in a Qom/Toba population and analyze the sociocultural concepts of families regarding complementary feeding. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected by participant observation and semistructured surveys administered to mothers of 0-2 year old infants. Qom breastfeed their infants long term and on demand. Most infants have an adequate nutritional status and start complementary feeding at around 6 months old as per the local health center and international standards. However, mostly due to socioeconomic factors, foods chosen to complement breastfeeding have a relatively scarce nutritional value.
到婴儿六个月大时,母乳喂养已无法满足其能量或微量营养素需求,因此应提供适当的辅食。本研究的目的是评估科姆/托巴人群引入辅食的时间和充足性,并分析家庭关于辅食的社会文化观念。通过参与观察以及对0至2岁婴儿母亲进行半结构化调查来收集定量和定性数据。科姆人长期按需母乳喂养婴儿。根据当地卫生中心和国际标准,大多数婴儿营养状况良好,大约在6个月大时开始添加辅食。然而,主要由于社会经济因素,用于补充母乳喂养的食物营养价值相对较低。
