Abstract

This paper aimed to investigate the factors that influence, positively or negatively, complementary feeding of infants, from scientific publications in the period from 1990 to 2009. The method was the integrative literature review in the databases Medline, LILACS and BDENF using the keywords breastfeeding, weaning and infant nutrition. The results show that the eating pattern is a very important factor for maintaining the health of children, and outlined a set of factors that come from family background, socioeconomic and cultural and educational level of mother / caretaker. A shared construction of a children’s menu is proposed in the nursing consultation in child care, and between nurse and caregiver in order to offer children an education that will prevent food illnesses in adulthood.
