Knowledge of mothers about nutrition of babies

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The questionnaire survey, attended by 38 mothers of toddlers, revealed that these mothers care of their children nutrition. They seek information in various ways, most typically on the Internet. Modern parents have a great amount of information at their disposal, however, such overabundance of information which might happen to be somewhat inconsistent, can be rather confusing for mothers, and can consequently lead to nutritional mistakes in children’s diet. Most mistakes occur intentionally, when mothers succumb to their own eating habits and pass them on their children. These mistakes are obvious particularly in giving sweets, since most mothers (21.1%) give sweets to their child 3-4 times per week, 13.2% even daily. These women probably do not realize, that this behaviour is harmful for their children, as they might be exposed to cavity and in later age they tend to develop sugar addiction accompanied by an increased risk of overweight or obesity that brings further complications. Concerning flavouring agents, mothers usually use herbs and salt. Drinking regimen is rather neglected. A toddler is recommended to drink between 1,200-1,500 ml of fluids daily – merely 10.5% of mothers give this amount to their child. Children are given at least 1-2 portions of fruit and vegetable per day, more often vegetable than fruit, which is in concord with nutritional recommendations. The survey concluded that modern women have sufficient information at their disposal and they attempt to utilize their knowledge in reality. In few cases they succumb the adverts and give their children low-fat dairy products or children’s biscuits and sweets, that are however as bad as sweets for adults.
