Abstract

Regarding the use of other forms of ingestion, spoons/cups were the most mentioned by 51 (71.8%) mothers. About 38 (53.5%) interviewers reported that the contents of the bottle mostly used was artificialmilk associated to sugar and farinaceous dough, and 43 (60.2%) confirmed the presence of non-nutritive sucking habits.
