Abstract

Objeticve: to know how breastfeeding and complementary feeding relate to the food and nutritional security of children living in a border region.
Method: qualitative research with 12 mothers and 12 health professionals from Foz do Iguaçu, in the context of Primary Health Care. The data were collected between April and October 2019, through a semi-structured interview and submitted to Thematic Content Analysis.
Results: Three categories were identified: Breastfeeding and complementary feeding: the child’s right to safe and adequate food; Breastfeeding and complementary feeding: from orientation to consumption; Breastfeeding, complementary feeding and the Triple Border context.
Conclusion: maternal milk and healthy complementary feeding contemplate food and nutritional security.
