Resumen

Introduction.Social and familial changes lead to alterations in the feeding habits of infants, with an increase in the use of commercial baby foods. Our primary pediatric care unit sought out to investigate whether those products were able to provide adequate nutrition. Objective.To analyze the differences in nutritional content between homemade and commercial baby food. Method.Three standard homemade purées (beef and vegetables, fruits, and fish and vegetables) were made, and a nutritional analysis (caloric and energetic content, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) was performed using the Sandoz and Cesnid tables. We then analyzed the nutritional content of three equivalent commercial and compared the results of both groups. Results.The energetic content of commercial products of vegetables with beef or fish was up to 40% inferior to the homemade purees. The lipid content was higher (up to 50%) in the homemade food, but the percentage of saturated (aterogenic) fat was higher (50-60%) in the commercial purees. The energetic content of commercial fruit purees was 35% higher. Likewise, the total carbohydrate content was twice than in the homemade products, whereas there were no differences in the lipid and protein contents. Conclusions.Children fed with commercial baby food receive lower amounts of carbohydrates than recommended, with an excess of simple carbohydrates. Commercial vegetable purees provide a lower caloric content. In a complete menu using commercial products, the caloric intake is inverted: more energy is delivered with the desert than with the main course. Even though the overall lipid intake is lower with commercial products, the aterogenic load is higher.
