Objective: To identify the dietary patterns of children during the first year of life. Methods: This is a longitudinal study of children born between September 2004 and April 2005 residing in Diamantina, MG, Brazil. Data were collected from children who were six, nine and twelve months of age. Data were collected at their homes using a questionnaire that included a socioeconomic and demographic profile of the family. Information on diet was obtained using 24 hour food recall. Principal Component Analysis was used to identify the dietary patterns. Results: Three dietary patterns were identified and denominated "Porridge", "Pap" and "Family Food". The most common dietary pattern was composed of milk, sugar and fortified flour and was negatively correlated with breastfeeding. The second dietary pattern was composed of tubers, vegetables and fruits. The third dietary pattern consisted of cereal, meat, beans and tea; this pattern was repeated at different ages, with some variation at the sixth month when artificial drinks were included and meat and tea were excluded. Conclusion: There was some variation in the dietary patterns of children; however, porridge was used predominantly in all studied ages. Information on dietary patterns may be useful for evaluating and redirecting food and nutrition policies.

“…A escolha dos alimentos que irão compor a dieta da criança também se relaciona com o poder de compra da família 15 . Dessa maneira, a alimentação da criança deve ser entendida como um fenômeno de ordem sociocultural e econômica, visto que, para escolher os alimentos e o momento em que eles serão oferecidos, os pais ou responsáveis consideram as experiências já vividas, o valor comercial dos alimentos disponíveis no mercado e outros fatores de ordem social e cultural 2,14 .…”

Introdução: O Ministério da Saúde recomenda que a introdução alimentar infantil seja feita aos 6 meses de idade, porém, observa-se que muitas famílias introduzem alimentos antes dessa faixa etária, o que pode prejudicar a saúde da criança. Isso pode ocorrer devido às crenças existentes, experiências prévias da família, entre outros fatores de ordem social e cultural. Objetivo: Investigar aspectos influenciadores da introdução alimentar de crianças. Métodos: O presente estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal, quantitativa, com amostra não probabilística, de conveniência. Foram incluídos no estudo 22 pais ou responsáveis de crianças com idade até 24 meses. Foi aplicado um questionário com os pais ou responsáveis que continha perguntas relacionadas à criança, à família e aos fatores socioculturais; introdução alimentar; e crenças e conhecimentos sobre introdução alimentar. Resultados: Houve prevalência de aleitamento materno exclusivo até os 6 meses de 31,8% e introdução alimentar em tempo oportuno de 45%. Os resultados demonstram correlação entre escolaridade, renda, presença de plano de saúde e ocupação dos pais fora de casa com conhecimento sobre alimentação complementar. Encontrou-se também correlação entre o conhecimento dos pais e tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo e tempo em que foi introduzida alimentação complementar. Conclusão: A partir dos resultados pode-se inferir que o nível de instrução, a ocupação e a renda familiar exercem influência no conhecimento dos pais sobre introdução alimentar. E que este conhecimento influencia a duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo e a época da introdução alimentar.

“…Improper and frequent consumption of processed foods can compromise health in childhood and adulthood in addition to reducing the consumption of fresh food (AQUINO; PHILIPPI, 2002). Such observations are reinforced by Mello, Barros and Morais (2016), who checked food consumption and adequacy in Brazilian children from 2003 to 2013, and showed that their feeding presents low consumption of meat, fruits and vegetables; high consumption of cow's milk, early intake of fried food, sweets, soft drinks and salt.…”

Fresh leaves of ora-pro-nóbis in cakes prepared from commercial pre-mixture

Establishing good infant eating habits in childhood is quite important for proper growth and development. The increasing number of mothers who work outside home has made children have their meals in day care centers or schools. In addition, meals have their preparation being replaced by more suitable options, like instant food, lately depriving kids from good eating and nutritional habits. Such kind of food does not contribute to the formation of good eating habits. Thus, vegetables such as the ora-pro-nóbis (unconventional vegetable, known in English language countries as Barbados Goosenberry and cientific name Pereskia aculeata Miller) that have in their leaves proteins, fibers and minerals, like iron, can contribute to improve the childlike feeding. In order to improve the nutritional value of commercial chocolate cake premixes, in natura ora-pro-nóbis leaves were added in at ratios of 0 (standard), 10, 20, 30 and 40% leaf weight per dough weight, which were covered with chocolate kind icing. Moisture, ashes, lipids, proteins, crude fiber and carbohydrate and total caloric content (VCT) were analyzed in the elaborated formulations. The results showed a significant increase in water retention, crude fiber content and decrease in total caloric value (VCT) in the added cakes of ora-pro-nóbis leaves.
