Full textINTRODUCTION: Since the start of the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) Programme at Dr George Mukhari Hospital in 2001, there has been no evaluation of the effect of formula feeding on the growth and dietary intakes of enrolled infants. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the short-term growth, anthropometry and dietary intake of infants from two to ten weeks of age were entered into the PMTCT Programme at the Department of Human Nutrition at Dr George Mukhari Hospital from two to ten weeks of age. METHODS: This was a descriptive, longitudinal (eight weeks duration) study. Anthropometric assessment including length and head circumference was performed at two weeks of age and thereafter at ten weeks of age. Weight measurement was performed at age two weeks (visit 1), six weeks (visit 2) and ten weeks (visit 3). Anthropometric measurements were compared with CDC 20003 growth charts. Feeding practices and dietary intake (24 hour diet recall interview) were assessed at each of the four week interval visits and evaluated according to the DRIs59. At the third visit, a socio-demographic interview and a usual food intake interview were performed. RESULTS: A total of 151 [male (N = 75) and female (N = 76)] infants completed the study. A total of 110 (72%) mothers resided in the Soshanguve area and 138 (91%) of the mothers had attended high school. The majority (75%) of mothers was not generating an income from employment. Generally, mothers had access to safe drinking water and all (99%) but two mothers used pre-boiled water before preparing infant formula. The accuracy and correctness of reconstituting infant formula decreased with each visit as feeds were increasingly made too dilute. A total of 124 (82%) infants were exclusively formula fed. The remainder received water, water with sugar and/or complementary feeds. Mean energy and macronutrient intakes of both males (N = 65, 87%) and females (N = 61, 80%) were below recommendations at age two weeks. Of all the macronutrients, fats were consumed the least by both males (N = 67, 89%) and females (N = 66, 87%) at visit 1. Catch up growth was evident and nutrient intakes improved as the study progressed. The mean weight gain of all infants from visit 1 to 2 was 1.2 (SD 0.3) kg and 0.9 (SD 0.3) kg from visit 2 to 3 (exceeding the CDC 20003 recommendation for both male and female infants). The incidence of underweight, wasting and head circumference-for-age below the third percentile decreased from visit 1 to 3, but the number of stunted infants increased towards visit 3. The majority of infants in this study grew well in their first ten weeks of life. Growth accelerated as infants became older and growth faltering improved by ten weeks of age. CONCLUSION: Overall, the growth of the infants referred to the PMTCT Programme at the Department of Human Nutrition at Dr George Mukhari Hospital would appear to be adequate but mothers’ approach to formula feeding practices needs to be improved in some aspects of feeding their infants.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction A paucity of data exists regarding growth patterns and nutrition-related problems in infants (<12 months) on antiretroviral treatment (ART) and the infant feeding knowledge, beliefs, attitude and practices of their caregivers. Aim To describe the growth and nutrition-related problems of infants (<12 months) attending the Antiretroviral (ARV) clinic at Red Cross Children’s Hospital, as well as the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices of their caregivers concerning infant feeding. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with census sampling. Thirty infants and 31 caregivers were included in the sample. Anthropometric measurements were performed and interviewer-administered questionnaires were utilised to obtain the knowledge, attitude, beliefs and practices of the caregivers. The mean Z-score of each measurement as well as the weight-for-age, length-for-age, weight-forlength and bodymass index-for-age for each infant were determined, analysed, interpreted and described according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) growth standards for children. Results Thirty-nine percent (n=11) of the mothers (n=28) did not receive infant feeding counselling prior to delivery, while only 9 (32%) received the minimum number of at least 4 sessions, as prescribed by the Department of Health. It was not assessed whether the counselling occurred before delivery. The mean age of the infants was 6.9 (SD 3.3) months. Eighty-three percent (n=25) had an opportunistic infection prior to data collection. Twenty-three percent (n=7) were underweight-forage and 40% (n=12) of the infants were stunted. Vomiting and diarrhoea were the most common nutrition-related problems experienced. A statistical significant positive correlation (p=0.003) was found between an infant’s duration on ART and W/A z-score. Only two caregivers were breastfeeding at the time of data collection, but 34% (n=10) of the other caregivers had at some stage breastfed their infant. Formula feeding practices were poor. Sixty-two percent (n=18) were not preparing the feeds correctly and only six (21%) were correctly cleaning and sterilising the bottles. Thirty-nine percent (n=11) of the infants were not receiving an adequate amount of milk per day. Sixty-five percent (n=11) of the infants (>six months) did not receive a diet the previous day which met the minimum WHO dietary diversity indicator and only 18% (n=3) received a minimum acceptable diet. Caregivers had an average knowledge concerning infant feeding. Thirteen percent (n=4) knew the correct definition of exclusive breast- or formula feeding. Sixty-eight percent (n=21) did not know what mixed feeding meant, or the dangers associated with it. Most caregivers (n=25, 81%) knew that oral rehydration solution had to be given when infants developed diarrhoea, but only 48% (n=15) knew how to prepare it and only 6% (n=2) knew how to administer it. Seventy-five percent (n=9) of caregivers did not know what should be done when experiencing breast problems. Sixty-four percent (n=19) of the caregivers believed that if a HIV-positive woman breastfeeds she would definitely transmit HIV to her infant. Conclusion The infant sample showed a variety of erratic growth patterns with a high prevalence of underweight and stunting. Infant feeding knowledge of caregivers was average, but not deemed sufficient to translate into appropriate, safe and optimal infant feeding practices. The breastfeeding prevalence was low. Formula preparation, feeding and hygiene practices were poor and dietary intake of infants was not optimal. The quality and quantity of HIV infant feeding counselling sessions received at antenatal clinic visits were poor and need to be addressed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding Daar is 'n tekort aan data oor groeipatrone en voedingsverwante probleme by babas (<12 maande) op antiretrovirale behandeling asook die babavoedingkennis, -oortuigings, -houdings en -praktyke van hul versorgers. Doelwit Om ondersoek in te stel na die groei- en voedingsverwante probleme by babas (<12 maande) in die antiretrovirale kliniek by Rooikruis-kinderhospitaal, sowel as die babavoedingkennis, - oortuigings, -houdings en -praktyke van hul versorgers. Metodes 'n Beskrywende dwarssnitstudie is met sensussteekproefneming onderneem. Dertig babas en 31 versorgers is by die steekproef ingesluit. Antropometriese metings was gedoen en onderhoude was met behulp van vraelyste gevoer ten einde inligting oor die versorgers se kennis, houdings, oortuigings en praktyke te bekom. Elke baba se gemiddelde z-telling per meting sowel as die gewig-vir-ouderdom, lengte-vir-ouderdom en liggaamsmassa-indeks-vir-ouderdom was volgens die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie (WGO) se groeistandaarde vir kindersbepaal, ontleed, vertolk en beskryf. Resultate Altesaam 39% (n=11) van die moeders (n=28) het nie voor die bevalling voorligting oor babavoeding ontvang nie, terwyl slegs 9 (32%) die Departement van Gesondheid se voorgeskrewe minimum 4 sessies, deurloop het. Dit was nie bepaal of hierdie sessies voor die bevalling ontvang was nie. Die gemiddelde ouderdom van die babas was 6,9 (standaardafwyking 3,3) maande. 'n Totaal van 83% (n=25) het voor data-insameling 'n opportunistiese infeksie gehad, 23% (n=7) was ondergewig-vir-ouderdom, en 40% (n=12) van die babas se lengtegroei was ingekort. Die algemeenste voedingsverwante probleme was braking en diarree. Daar blyk 'n statisties beduidende positiewe korrelasie (p=0.003) te wees tussen die duur van die baba se antiretrovirale behandeling en sy/haar gewig-vir-ouderdom-z-telling. Slegs twee versorgers het hul babas ten tyde van die studie geborsvoed, hoewel 34% (n=10) van die versorgers in 'n stadium geborsvoed het. Voedingspraktyke met die gee van melkformule was swak. Altesaam 62% (n=18) het die melkformule verkeerd aangemaak en slegs ses (21%) het die bottels behoorlik skoongemaak en gesteriliseer. Nege-en-dertig persent (n=11) van die babas het te min melk per dag ontvang. Vyf-en-sestig persent (n=11) van die babas (>6 maande) se melkinname die vorige dag het nie aan die minimum WGO aanbevole dieetdiversiteitsaanwyser voldoen nie, en slegs 18% (n=3) het 'n minimum aanvaarbare dieet gevolg. Versorgers se kennis ten opsigte van babavoeding was gemiddeld, met net 13% (n=4) wat die korrekte omskrywing van eksklusiewe bors- of formulevoeding geken het. 'n Totaal van 68% (n=21) het nie geweet wat gemengde voeding beteken of watter gevare dit inhou nie. Die meeste versorgers (n=25, 81%) het geweet dat orale rehidrasie oplossing toegedien moet word wanneer babas aan diarree ly, maar slegs 48% (n=15) het geweet hoe om dit aan te maak en 'n skrale 6% (n=2) hoe om dit toe te dien. Vyf-en-sewentig persent (n=9) van die versorgers het nie geweet wat om te doen as hulle probleme met hul borste ervaar nie. Altesaam 64% (n=19) van die versorgers het geglo dat 'n MIV-positiewe vrou definitief haar baba MIV sal gee indien sy hom/haar sou borsvoed. Samevatting Die steekproef babas het 'n verskeidenheid onreëlmatige groeipatrone getoon en baie was ondergewig of het ook dwerggroei getoon. Versorgers se kennis van babavoeding was gemiddeld, maar nie voldoende om tot toepaslike, veilige en optimale babavoedingspraktyke aanleiding te gee nie. Die voorkoms van borsvoeding was laag. Melkformulevoorbereiding, - voeding en -higiëne was swak, en babas se voedinginname was nie ideaal nie. Die gehalte van en hoeveelheid voorligting oor MIV-babavoeding met besoeke aan voorgeboorteklinieke was swak en moet aangespreek word.

Full textObjective: To assess dietary adequacy in 12-t0-32-month old children regarding the intake of portions of food groups and energy and of macro- and micronutrients. Methods: A descriptive study of a convenience sample of 12-to-32-month-old children from Ribeirão Preto, SP, participating in an ample thematic project denoted BRISA Project. The 24 hour food recall was used for assessment and the foods and preparations consumed by the children were inserted in the Virtual Nutri Plus software for nutritional calculation and transformed into portions related to the eight groups of the Infant Food Pyramid. Intrapersonal dietary variability was corrected with three R24h replication on random days in a 20% subsample of the study population. The data were submitted to the Multiple Source Method (MSM) and the usual diet was obtained and analyzed according to the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) from the Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs) and expressed as the proportion of children with nutrient intake below or above these recommendations. The food portions were analyzed using Brazilian infant food guides. The association of the energy, macro- and micronutrient values consumed and food portions with the variables of interest was determined by the chi-square test. Results: The sample of 491 children was stratified into three age ranges, with a predominance of children aged 18 to 23 months (52%), of normal weight (92.9%) girls (52.5%) whose mothers had 9 to 11 years of schooling (57.4%) and who reported white skin color (55.2%). Preterm babies represented 22% of the study sample. Only 7.4% belonged to less privileged economic classes. The children\'s diet showed insufficient carbohydrate and fat intake, 38.5% and 29.5%, adequate energy intake and excessive protein intake (79.8%). Among the micronutrients, iron, vitamin C and vitamin B12 showed the highest percentages of adequate intake (98.6%, 97.0% and 94.9%, respectively), whereas calcium (27.3%), folate (74.8%) and vitamin E (37.7%) showed higher frequencies of insufficient intake. Intake above UL was more expressive for vitamin A (43.6%) and zinc (33.6%). Among younger infants (up to 23 months of age), food portion intake was insufficient regarding meat and eggs (42.7%), milk, cheese and yogurt (47.7%), and excessive regarding cereals, breads and tubercles, fruits, oils and fats. Among children older than 24 months, insufficient intake was more marked regarding cereals, breads and tubercles (56.1%) and fruits (75.8%). A markedly insufficient intake of vegetables and legumes and excessive intake of sugars and sweets was observed in all children. Conclusion: The diet of the children studied was marked by inadequate nutrient intake, insufficient vegetable and legume intake and excessive intake of foods containing sugars and sweets. However, low rates of inadequate intake were observed for iron and vitamin A, the micronutrients more deficient in Brazil. Excess weight was observed in only 35 children (7.1%) and was associated with excessive energy intake.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Malnutrition is a silent emergency. WHO estimates that 55% of all child deaths in developing countries are associated with malnutrition. Inadequate dietary intake and disease are the two immediate causes of malnutrition. The underlying causes are household food insecurity, inadequate maternal and child-care and poor water/ sanitation and inadequate health services. Stunting is a major problem in pre-school children in South Africa. This indicates a long term inadequate dietary intake. Furthermore, the initiation of breastfeeding in South Africa is about 90%, and the duration thereof tends to be less than 3 months after birth. A great majority of children in this country consume a diet deficient in energy and of poor nutrient density to meet their micronutrient requirements. The aim of this study was to identify feeding practices of infants that could contribute to the development of malnutrition. METHOD: This was a cohort study with a prospective experimental design. Forty-four of the original 73 mother-infant pairs that were recruited, were interviewed monthly on feeding practices of the infants. Anthropometric measurements (weight and height of the infants) were measured monthly. RESULTS: Weight-for-age Z-scores dropped significantly with age from around 4 months, when weaning had started. Inadequate dietary intake, more specifically weaning practices and breastfeeding practices, were identified as the immediate cause that could contribute to the development of malnutrition in this community. Except for the positive relationship between the level of education of the father and an increase in HAZ over time, growth was not affected by socio-economic and demographic factors in this community. This is probably because of the fact that there were very small differences in socio-economic and demographic factors. CONCLUSION: Weaning and breastfeeding practices should be addressed in all nutrition education programmes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: INLEIDING: Wanvoeding is 'n stil gevaar. Die WGO skat dat daar 'n verband is tussen wanvoeding en ongeveer 55% van alle kindersterftes in ontwikkelende lande. 'n Onvoldoende dieetinname en siekte is die twee onmiddellike oorsake van wanvoeding. Onvoldoende huishoudelike voedselsekuriteit, onvoldoende moeder- en kindsorg en swak sanitasie en watervoorsiening asook onvoldoende gesondheidsorg is die onderliggende oorsake. Dwerggroei is 'n groot probleem in Suid-Afrika onder voorskoolse kinders. Dit dui op 'n langdurige onvoldoende dieetinname. Bydraend hiertoe, is die aanvang van borsvoeding in Suid-Afrika ongeveer 90%, maar die duurte van borsvoeding is minder as 3 maande na geboorte. Die meerderheid van alle kinders in Suid-Afrika se dieet het 'n tekort aan energie en die nutriëntdigtheid van hulle diëte voldoen nie aan hulle daaglikse behoeftes ten opsigte van mikronutriënte nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om voedingspraktyke te identifiseer wat kan bydra tot die ontwikkeling van wanvoeding. METODE: Dit was 'n kohortstudie met 'n prospektiewe eksperimentele ontwerp. Vier-en-veertig van die oorspronklike aanvanklike moeder-babapare wat gewerf is, is maandeliks ondervra met betrekking tot die voedingspraktyke van die baba en antropometriese metimgs (gewig en lengte van die baba) is maandeliks geneem. RESULTATE: Z waardes van gewig vir ouderdom het beduidend gedaal namate die kinders ouer geword het, veral vanaf 4 maande, toe spening begin het. 'n Onvoldoende dieetinname, meer spesifiek spenings- en borsvoedingspraktyke, is geïdentifiseer as die onmiddellike oorsake wat tot die ontwikkeleing van wanvoeding kan bydra in hierdie gemeenskap. Daar was 'n positiewe verband tussen lengtegroei (Z waardes van lengte vir ouderdom) en die vlak van opvoeding van die vader. Groei is nie deur die ander sosio-ekonomiese en demografiese faktore beïnvloed nie, moontlik as gevolg van die klein verskille in sosio-ekonomiese en demografiese eienskappe van die studie populasie. GEVOLGTREKKING: Spenings- en borsvoedingpraktyke behoort aandag te geniet in alle voedingsvoorligtings-programme.

Full textIntroduction: This study is an extension of a randomized clinical trial of adolescent mothers and maternal grandmothers, conducted in Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, between 2006 and 2008, which sought to assess the efficacy of a pro-breastfeeding (BF) and healthy complementary feeding intervention in increasing the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first 4 months of life, the prevalence of overall BF during the first year of life, and the prevalence of timely introduction of healthy complementary feeding during the first year of life. The intervention proved to be effective in increasing the duration of EBF and the prevalence of BF during the first year of life, and had a positive impact against the early introduction of complementary feeding. Many studies suggest that the pattern and duration of BF and the quality and age at onset of complementary feeding are associated with the prevalence of overweight and obesity later in childhood. Objective: To assess the medium-term impact of a pro-BF and healthy complementary feeding intervention administered to adolescent mothers and maternal grandmothers during the first 4 months of life of the infant on child growth at preschool age, with particular emphasis on the prevalence of overweight and obesity. Methods: A randomized clinical trial of 323 adolescent mothers, their infants, and the infants’ maternal grandmothers (when they cohabited) was conducted. Participants in the intervention group (mothers and, when they cohabited, grandmothers) received BF counseling sessions at the maternity ward and at home, 7, 15, 30, 60, and 120 days after delivery. During the last session, when infants were aged 4 months, counseling also addressed introduction of complementary feeding starting at age 6 months, based on the guidelines provided in the Guia Alimentar para Crianças Brasileiras Menores de 2 Anos, and participants were given a booklet on the topic. When the children were aged 4 to 7 years, they were weighed and measured and their mothers were once again questioned as to the children’s dietary habits. BMI-for-age and height-for-age were employed to assess nutritional status, using the new World Health Organization growth standards as a reference. Multivariate Poisson regression with robust estimation was used for data analysis, which followed the intention-to-treat principle. Results: Of the 323 children enrolled in the study, 207 (64.1%) were located at follow-up. There were no differences in sociodemographic characteristics between participants who completed the study and those lost to follow-up. Of the 207 children who completed the trial, 98 (46.9%) had been allocated to the intervention group and 109 (53.1%) to the control group. The anthropometric indicators BMI-for-age and height-for-age were similar in both groups. Overweight was observed in 39% of children in the intervention group and 31% of those in the control group, with no significant between-group difference (p=0.318). There were no significant between-group differences in intake of healthy or unhealthy foods. Conclusions: Although it prolonged the duration of EBF and BF and delayed the start of complementary feeding, the tested intervention had no impact on growth or prevalence of overweight and obesity in the children at preschool age. The diversity and complexity of factors involved in children’s dietary habits and the fact that the intervention was not continued past age 4 months may explain this finding.

Full textIntroducción: El consumo alimentario adecuado es esencial durante crecimiento del lactante. Objetivo: Describir los hábitos alimentarios y analizar su efecto sobre el desarrollo físico y neuroconductual del niño pequeño. Métodos: Estudio longitudinal en 154 recién nacidos seguidos hasta los 30 meses. Variables: historia clínica, antropometría, lactancia, consumo (método de R24h), estado de hierro (hemoglobina y ferritina sérica) y desarrollo neurológico (Escala Bayley), adecuación del aporte nutricional de las fórmulas infantiles comercializadas. Resultados: Las fórmulas de inicio superan las recomendaciones de retinol, vitamina E, C, vitaminas del grupo B y folatos; y las de continuación, las de vitamina B12. El excesivo consumo de carne, leche y pescado se relaciona con un exceso de proteínas, que contrasta con una alta ingesta inadecuada de vitamina D. La lactancia materna aporta una adecuada cantidad de energía y nutrientes, excepto de vitamina D y hierro, pero se asocia a un mejor desarrollo psicomotor, el cual se ve favorecido por los buenos niveles de hemoglobina. La mayor ingesta de azúcares libres a los 12 meses se asocia a un mayor riesgo de exceso de peso a los 30 meses. Conclusiones: Convendría revisar el aporte de micronutrientes de las fórmulas infantiles, adecuar el aporte de proteínas y de azúcares libres durante la alimentación complementaria, así como planificar estrategias para evitar la deficiencia de vitamina D ya desde la edad infantil; y continuar con la promoción de la lactancia materna.
Introduction: Adequate dietary intake is essential during infant growth. Objective: Describe eating habits and analyze their effect on the physical and neuro-behavioral development of the toddler. Methods: Longitudinal study in 154 newborns followed up to 30 months. Variables: clinical history, anthropometry, lactation, consumption (R24h method), iron status (hemoglobin and serum ferritin) and neurological development (Bayley Scale), adaptation of the nutritional contribution of the infant formulas marketed. Results: Infant formulas outweigh the recommendations of retinol, vitamin E, C, B group vitamins and folates; and those of follow-on formulas, those of vitamin B12. The excessive consumption of meat, milk and fish is related to an excess of protein, which contrasts with a high inadequate intake of vitamin D. Breastfeeding provides an adequate amount of energy and nutrients, except vitamin D and iron, but it is associated to a better psychomotor development, which is favored by the good levels of hemoglobin. The greatest free sugar intake at 12 months is associated with an increased risk of overweight at 30 months. Conclusions: The contribution of micronutrients in infant formulas should be reviewed, appropriate protein and free sugars should be provided during complementary feeding, as well as strategies to avoid vitamin D deficiency since childhood; and continue with the promotion of breastfeeding.

Full textConsidered one of the main problems of Public Health all over the world, the obesity is growing in a significant way among the infantile population due to changes in the lifestyle and to the food habits. It is known that the childhood obesity tends to continue in the adult phase, taking the decrease of the life expectative and larger risk of diseases. The epidemic knowledge that points to groups with larger chance of developing overweight and obesity brings important contributions in the clinical approach of the disease. So, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of overweight in preschool children from 2 to 5 years attended by the Program of Health of the Family in the city of Ribeirão Preto - SP; to describe socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the families; to describe infant food and anthropome trics aspects and to investigate possible associations among the variables. It is a cross-sectional study, in which anthro pometrics was collected (weight, height, skinfolds thickness and circumferences) and the collection of socioeconomics, demographic and alimentary datas. Overweight was defines as weight to height Z score >= +1. Were assessed 155 preschool with average age 4,3±1,0 years, 80 (51,6%) girls and 75 (48,4%) boys. The prevalence found were 16,8% of malnutrition and 20,6% of overweight, without difference among the sexes (p=0,92). The families were, in majority (63%) nuclear, they had 4,8±1,8 members on average and 25% of the children lived without the biological father. The mothers and the family\'s bosses education level and classifica tion of estimate of income didn\'t show association with statement nutritional of the children. The weight and the mother\'s IMC were larger in the children\'s group with overweight (p <0,01). All the measures of circum ferences they were significantly larger in the group of overweight (p <0,01). The measures of tricipital skinfold (7,8±1,8; 9,0±1,6; 13,6±4,4) and the percentage of corporal fat (10,1±2,5; 15,3±2,7; 22,3±6,1) that, respectively for the groups malnutrition, normal and overweight, they presented p <0,01. The base of the children\'s feeding, for all of the groups, was rice, milk, bean, bread and meats and foods with high caloric density as cookies, candies, soft drinks and chips presented frequent consumption. Found prevalence of overweight is suitable with transition nutrition in Brazil and the body composition children\'s measures they indicate fat body excess. Before the presented data it is ended that are necessary educational and preventive measures for the infantile obesity in that population. Actions turned to alimentary and nutritional education for the children and their families are fundamental to avoid the aggravation of the problem in a close future.

Full textThe food practices of children are not determined only by their biological necessities, but also by their interaction with the food, for emotional, social, economic and cultural factors and by their interaction with their own mother. The objectives of this study were to know social representations of infants\' mothers about the introduction of complementary foods, propitious or not, and to identify in their experiences what are the reasons to chose those kind of foods. They were used the concepts of Social Representation by Moscovici which explain a knowledge that is generated by everyday life\'s communication and with the purpose to guide behaviors and to sustain them in front of an object. The model \"Thinking Risks and Benefits\" was used to give theoretical support and to increase the understanding of food process of a child. The data were analyzed according methodological strategies of Subjective Speech Collective and were collected from 17 mothers at a private pediatric ambulatory in Jundiaí, a São Paulo\'s city, after their consentment of semi-structured recorded interviews and all of them were transcribed word by word. From the verbal material collected emerged 13 speeches, organized in three themes. \"Living the Weaning Period\", the first one, is made by 4 speeches of mothers who weaned their children and talked about their experiences and their difficulties facing the replacement of breast milk and about motherhood representations of food and introduction of complementary foods. \"Taking Position in front of Child\'s Food Choices\", the second, is made by 4 speeches and debates mothers\' necessities and families and doctors roles in the context of introduction of complementary foods. \"Making the Food Choices Properly\", the last one, is made by 5 speeches that examines elements of choices and motherhood representations about food and the introduction of complementary foods. The conclusion is that based on their representations, experiences and believes, mothers analyse, judge, interpret and construct indicators from observation of children behavior and they search increase their worth in symbolic terms of risks and benefits to themselves or their children. It depends on which social context mother and child are insert. Theses findings allow to show an expansion of theoretical model \"Thinking Risks and Benefits\" to help the understating of meaning not only of breastfeed, but complementary food either. Besides that, it was possible to know the representations of theses groups of women about food and introduction of complementary foods

Full textLe taux, la prévalence et les déterminants de la diarrhée infantile et des infections respiratoires aigues (IRA) ont été examinés chez 292 enfants de mères séropositives, séronégatives ou de statut VIH inconnu dans la région est du Ghana. Les taux de diarrhée et IRA étaient de 1.0 et 1.2 épisodes par enfant par 100 jours d'exposition, respectivement. Le statut VIH de la mère ou le mode d'alimentation des enfants n'avait pas d'effet sur la morbidité de ces maladies. Les mères séropositives avaient plus de tendances d'être stressées et de présenter avec des symptômes de dépression postpartum (DPP). L'augmentation de la diarrhée était associée au stress maternel et au DPP. Parmi les mères séropositives seulement, le risque de la diarrhée infantile a augmenté trois fois avec le DPP et de 15% pour chaque augmentation d'une unité dans le résultat du test de stress maternel. Une prévalence plus élevée de diarrhée et IRA était associée à un mauvais statut nutritionnel, à l'analphabétisme maternel et au sexe de l'enfant, étant plus communs chez les garçons. Le stress maternel, la dépression postpartum et d'autres facteurs devront être pris en considération lors de l'esquisse de politiques et de plans d'intervention visant à améliorer la santé des enfants, particulièrement dans les communautés touchées par le VIH.
