SANCHEZ, C.L. et al. Nutritional facts in infants from 8 to 12 months of age. []. , 18. ISSN 1695-6141.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the diet of infants that receive supplemental breast milk, by way of a two-week survey on nutrition consumption, completed by the parents of infants between 8 and 12 months of age from the province of Badajoz, Spain. Dial^® software was used for the nutritional analysis and quantification. Results: The analysis of the daily diet shows in this study that it is repetitive and equivalent in all infants during this age interval, which is made: at the beginning of the day for follow-on milk and infantile cereals, followed by vegetable baby food with meat, fruit baby food, and finally at the end of the day follow-on milk and cereals again. Indicating that energy intake was correct (1355 ± 252.93 kcal), highlighting that regarding macronutrients the protein percentage intake (44.40 ± 5.014 g/day) is high compared to the daily recommendations. In addition, it presents a repetitive and constant dietary pattern throughout all the participants. Conclusion: In our study population with supplementary feeding, the diet of these infants between 8 and 12 months of age is suited to the daily energy needs for that period of growth, as well as an inadequate daily ingestion on proteins.
