Abstract(s)
A alimentação complementar representa um dos marcos mais importantes no desenvolvimento de uma criança e diz respeito à transição de leite exclusivamente materno/fórmula para sólidos. Possuir uma nutrição adequada irá proporcionar um crescimento saudável assim como uma diminuição do risco de desenvolver doenças em idade adulta.
O Baby-Led Weaning é um método recente e alternativo à introdução da alimentação complementar que visa encorajar e estimular os bebés a alimentarem-se sozinhos desde os seis meses de idade, contrariamente ao que acontece com o método tradicional em que são os pais a introduzir à colher a alimentação complementar. Neste método, os bebés são considerados os protagonistas em todo o processo de diversificação alimentar. Contudo, é recomendado que o aleitamento materno/fórmula seja exclusivo até aos seis meses e mantido, em regime complementar, pelo menos até aos dois anos.
O BLW é um método que tem vindo a ganhar cada vez mais popularidade entre os pais que o realizam, mas a sua prática ainda se encontra muito controversa entre os profissionais de saúde, principalmente devido ao risco de sufocação e de défices nutriciais que possam acarretar.
O objetivo deste trabalho é expor quais as diferenças entre os dois métodos, quais as vantagens e desvantagens do BLW e qual a opinião dos profissionais de saúde e dos pais que o põem em prática.
Supplementary feeding plays a major role in the growth of every children consisting on the process of transitioning from breast milk to solid food. Having a proper nutrition will allow the children to grow healthy as well as diminish the risk of developing issues at a later age. The Baby-Led Weaning is a fairly recent method and is an alternative to the traditional sup-plementary feeding method. Its goal is to encourage and stimulate babies to feed themselves since the age of six months, contrarily to what happens with the traditional method, where it is the parents who spoon-feed them with the supplementary food. In this method, the babies are considered to be the protagonists in the whole process of food diversification. However, it is recommended that breastfeeding/baby formula to be exclusive up until the age of six months and maintained, at a complementar regime, at least until they turn two years old. The Baby-Led Weaning is a method that has recently gained more and more popularity among parents who perform it, but its practice is still very controversial among health professionals, mainly due to the risk of suffocation and the nutritional deficits that may arise. This paper aims to explain the differences between the two methods, the advantages and disadvantages of Baby-Led Weaning and the opinion of health professionals and the parents who are practicing it.
