Summary: | OBJECTIVE: To analyze the situation of breastfeeding and complementary feeding in the city of Registro, São Paulo. METHODS: This cross-sectional study collected sociodemographic and feeding information of infants aged less than one year who participated in the 2011 multiple vaccine campaign. Breastfeeding and complementary feeding were analyzed by indicators proposed by the World Health Organization. The association between outcomes (exclusive breastfeeding and introduction to complementary feeding) and the explanatory variables (maternal and child characteristics) was investigated by the Poisson model with a robust error variance. RESULTS: We analyzed 713 children. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 50.0%. Children who were breastfed exclusively on the first day at home (PR=2.40; 95%CI=1.42-4.06) and not given pacifiers (PR=1.95; 95%CI=1.153.30) were more likely to be exclusively breastfed. The complementary feeding indicators showed that 62.1% of the children aged 6 to 8.9 months consumed fruit plus savory mashes. None of the explanatory variables was significantly associated with this outcome. CONCLUSION: The study identified inappropriate infant feeding practices. Such studies can contribute to the proposal of policies, which is particularly important in an unfavorable social development context characterized by the study city.
OBJETIVO: Analisar a situação da amamentação e alimentação complementar no município de Registro, São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal no qual foram coletadas informações sobre alimentação e dados sociodemográficos de crianças menores de um ano que participaram da campanha de multivacinação de 2011. Foram consideradas elegíveis todas as crianças menores de um ano que participaram da campanha de vacinação, a fim de garantir a representatividade das informações para o município. Realizou-se a análise dos indicadores de aleitamento materno e alimentação complementar, propostos pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. A associação entre os desfechos (aleitamento materno exclusivo e introdução da alimentação complementar) e as variáveis explanatórias (características maternas e infantis), realizou-se por meio do modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. RESULTADOS: Foram analisados dados de 713 crianças. A prevalência do aleitamento materno exclusivo de 0 a 6 meses foi de 50,0%. As crianças que estavam mamando exclusivamente no primeiro dia em casa (RP=2,40; IC95%=1,424,06) e não usavam chupeta (RP=1,95; IC95%=1,15 |
