    Infant Feeding and Information Sources in Chilean Families Who Reported Baby-Led Weaning as a Complementary Feeding Method
    (2021) Quintiliano-Scarpelli, Daiana; Lehmann, Nicole; Castillo, Bárbara; Blanco, Estela
    Abstract: Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) is a new and emerging method of introducing complementary feeding in solid consistency, without the use of a spoon and entirely guided by the baby. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the BLW approach in relation to compliance with basic components and sources of information in Chilean families. Using a cross-sectional design, we assessed early nutrition, including breastfeeding and foods offered, maternal/child characteristics and sources of information on BLW among a non-probabilistic sample of mothers of children <24 months who reported practicing BLW (n = 261, median age = 28 years) in Chile. We found that 57.5% of mothers reported their child ate the same food as the family, 44.1% shared ≥3 meals with the family, 84.7% offered ≥3 foods at each meal and 75.6% reported only occasionally offering food with a spoon. The majority reported obtaining information on BLW from social media (82%). Moreover, 56% had offered cookies, 32% added salt and 9% sugar in the first 2 years. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months related to higher odds of consuming family foods (OR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.24–4.84), while having received information from professional sources and social media related to lower odds (OR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.22–0.88 and OR = 0.31, 95% CI 0.15–0.66, respectively). Those who had appropriate weight gain had lower odds of consuming ≥3 foods in meals (OR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.13–0.96). Among mothers who reported practicing BLW with their children, we observed a wide variety of feeding habits, sources of information and low compliance with the studied components. Eating the same food as the family was the most prevalent component and social media was the main source of information on BLW.

    Tolerancia de fórmulas lácteas en beneficiarios del Programa Nacional de Alimentación Comprementaria – alergia a la proteína de leche de vaca
    (Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Medicina, 2020-12) Carreño, Oriana; Contreras, Javiera; Ackerman, Constanza; Castillo, Bárbara
    A nivel mundial se estima que alrededor del 2 a 3% de los menores de 3 años presentan una alergia alimentaria. La alergia a la proteína de leche de vaca (APLV), es una de las alergias más frecuentes en los lactantes a nivel mundial, debido a que este tipo de proteína es el primer alérgeno al que el menor es expuesto. En Chile, a partir del año 2016 se crea un subprograma del Programa Nacional de Alimentación Complementaria dirigido a lactantes (PNAC) con APLV, dónde se entregan fórmulas lácteas según la severidad de la alergia de los beneficiarios. Se pretender determinar la prevalencia en la tolerancia de fórmulas lácteas entregadas por el PNAC –APLV, en un grupo de beneficiarios. Es un estudio de tipo transversal, dirigido a 166 tutores de lactantes beneficiarios del PNAC – APLV. Se recolectó información a partir de una encuesta online sobre las manifestaciones clínicas y tipo de fórmula tolerada. La mayoría de los lactantes fueron de sexo femenino (51,2%), el tipo de alimentación predominante (41,1%) era mixta. Del total de los lactantes que recibieron Althera el 89,7% la consume. La prevalencia de tolerancia de las fórmulas lácteas entregadas a los lactantes beneficiarios fue de 79,1%. En conclusión, más del 50% de los beneficiarios del programa tolera la fórmula láctea entregada por el PNAC APLV. Se recomienda realizar un estudio similar que presente una muestra más amplia
