Resumo: This paper reports a study of how babies are fed during their first year of life as practiced by families living in a low-income neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and served by the state’s Family Health Program. Two families were followed up over a year using the Bick method for the observation of mother-infant relationships. The results showed that although the families appreciated the recommendations of health professionals regarding the need to practice exclusive breastfeeding until the child reached six months, in practice during their first few weeks of life the babies were started on complementary food in addition to breast milk. The mothers made decisions regarding feeding the babies taking into consideration the following: The opinions of a selection of relatives; food availability; ideas about what is suitable for the developing baby; and finally, their observations of the child’s responses. The results show that food is part of the mutually imbricated processes of the social construction of the person and the constitution of kinship ties. The conclusion reflects on the implications of these findings for health practices.

Participaram duas famílias que foram acompanhadas ao longo de um ano. Os dados foram coletados utilizando o método Bick de observação da relação mãe-bebê. A análise dos relatos das visitas teve como referência a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciam que, embora as famílias valorizem as prescrições de profissionais de saúde sobre a prática do aleitamento materno exclusivo até os seis meses, desde as primeiras semanas os bebês recebem alimentos em forma complementar ao leite materno. As decisões sobre a alimentação são tomadas pelas mães, considerando: opiniões de vários parentes, disponibilidade de alimentos, idéias sobre o que é adequado para o desenvolvimento do bebê, assim como a observação das respostas da criança. Mostra-se que a alimentação faz parte do processo de construção social da pessoa e dos laços de parentesco. Finalmente são tecidas reflexões sobre as implicações destes resultados para as práticas de saúde.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2014-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8459Psychological Studies; Vol. 31 No. 3 (2014): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 31 Núm. 3 (2014): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 31 n. 3 (2014): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8459/5958Copyright (c) 2023 Vania BUSTAMANTE, Cecilia McCALLUMhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBUSTAMANTE, VaniaMcCALLUM, Cecilia2024-05-03T17:42:19Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8459Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-05-03T17:42:19Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
