Solid foods should be introduced not later than the age of six months, regardless of whether the family adheres to a traditional, vegetarian, or vegan diet. The aim of this study was to compare the knowledge on the complementary feeding of infants older than six months among mothers who adhere to traditional and vegetarian diets and to identify problems that require the assistance of a dietician. A total of 251 mothers of children aged 10-12 months participated in the study. Only 10% of vegetarian mothers declared that they had placed their children on a vegetarian diet, whereas 36 mothers adhered to a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet during complementary feeding in the first year of life. Mothers adhering to a traditional diet were characterized by lower levels of knowledge (4.1 ± 2.3 points) than vegetarian mothers (5.3 ± 2.1 points). Mothers following a traditional diet were more likely to indicate a higher than recommended number of daily meals (OR = 1.76; Cl: 1.31-1.97, < 0.001). Significant differences were noted in the respondents' adherence to the BLW method, which was more readily implemented by vegan ( < 0.05) and lacto-vegetarian ( < 0.05) mothers and was least popular among mothers following a traditional diet (OR = 0.81; CI: 0.66-1.23, < 0.04). Vegetarian mothers unnecessarily delayed the introduction of gluten and potentially allergizing foods to the children's diets, sometimes even past the age of 12 months.
固体食物应不迟于 6 个月大时引入，无论家庭是否遵循传统、素食或纯素饮食。本研究旨在比较坚持传统饮食和素食饮食的母亲在婴儿 6 个月以上的补充喂养知识，并确定需要营养师协助的问题。共有 251 名 10-12 个月大孩子的母亲参与了研究。只有 10%的素食母亲表示她们让孩子吃素，而 36 位母亲在孩子生命的第一年进行补充喂养时遵循乳素食。坚持传统饮食的母亲的知识水平较低（4.1 ± 2.3 分），而素食母亲的知识水平较高（5.3 ± 2.1 分）。坚持传统饮食的母亲更有可能表示每日用餐次数高于推荐数量（OR = 1.76；Cl：1.31-1.97，<0.001）。在受访者对 BLW 方法的坚持程度上存在显著差异，该方法更容易被纯素（<0.05）和乳素食（<0.05）母亲实施，而在坚持传统饮食的母亲中最不受欢迎（OR = 0.81；CI：0.66-1.23，<0.04）。素食母亲不必要地延迟了向孩子饮食中引入麸质和潜在致敏食物的时间，有时甚至超过 12 个月。
