    OBJECTIVE: To assess feeding practices and dietary intake of healthy infants in three Brazilian municipalities. METHODS: By means of a prospective study, we analyzed the food record of 7 consecutive days of an intentional sample (quota and weighted sampling) of 179 healthy infants, aged between 4 and 12 months, from the municipalities of Curitiba, São Paulo, and Recife, who were not being exclusively breastfed. Mothers received oral and written information provided by a nutritionist with the purpose of standardizing the feeding data. The computer program NutWin was used to calculate the dietary intake. RESULTS: The median of the infants' age was 6.8 months (4.0-12.6 months). We found that 50.3% of the infants were no longer being exclusively breastfed. Of these, 12.0 and 6.7% among the infants younger and older than 6 months, respectively, were fed with infant formulae instead of breast milk. Therefore, most infants received whole cow's milk. Infant formula dilution was correct in only 23.8 and 34.7% of the infants younger and older than 6 months old, respectively. With regards to complementary feeding, we found that the median age was 4 months for its introduction and 5.5 months for the introduction of family diet. There was high quantitative inappropriateness of micronutrient intake for infants between 6 and 12 months old who were not exclusively breastfed, mainly in terms of zinc (75%) and iron (45%). CONCLUSION: The present study showed a high frequency of inappropriate feeding practices and dietary intake in very young infants. These practices may lead to an increased risk of development of chronic diseases in the future.

    Suplemento alimentar caseiro: avaliação bromatologica e sensorial
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-06-15) Giudice, Carolina Lourenco [UNIFESP]; Amancio, Olga Maria Silverio [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8832817042816318; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0770938827135938; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Objective: To realize a food analysis and to perform a sensorial perception test of a new homemade, nutritionally adequate and low cost dietary supplement. Methods: The sensorial analysis was performed in 50 children (5 to 10 years old) and their respective parents attempted at the Growth Disorders Outpatient Clinic of the Escola Paulista de Medicina Federal University of São Paulo from June 2014 to November 2015. Data such as anthropometry, socioeconomic and nutritional status were also evaluated. The dietary supplement composition is based on five used regular ingredients: maize starch, water, egg white, gelatin and soy oil. All the recipe ingredients were quantified to create one standard and reproducible compound. The dietary supplement sensorial analysis was performed individually using two age adequate scales, one for children and other for adults. Each recipe had a dietary composition evaluated before the sensorial analysis. Results: One portion of the home homemade supplement (250 grams per day) provide 364.80 calories (47.65 grams from carbohydrate, 6.61 grams from protein and 16.24 grams from lipids). The estimate cost was that 6.55% of the minimum wage/month. The amount of energy was 42% higher than commercial ones. The children sensorial analysis indicated that 74% approved average score was 3.5 of 5 points). The adult sensorial analysis indicated that 92% approved the product (average score was 7 of 9 points). Conclusion: This particular homemade dietary supplement provides high energy, adequate nutritional composition, is very palatable and present low cost to prepare.
