Abstract

The research aimed to develop educational strategies on diet during the complementary feeding and use of
regional food. Exploratory qualitative study developed in a Family Health Program in Maranguape - Ceará - Brasil. Data
were collected through a semi-structured interview with 13 mothers of children aged less than six months that were
enrolled to receive complementary feeding. The results were analyzed through Bardin’s thematic analysis, and the emerged
categories were: biological needs of the child, Feeding; and Innovating feeding with regional food. Therefore, promoting
health of children in supplementary feeding through the use of regional food is a subject that should be disseminated,
especially in the group of families that suffer with inequality in terms of social injustice.
