title: [Food habits and dietary intake during the first year of life].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine feeding habits and dietetic ingestion du-ring the first year of life and to assess whether these are in accordance with dietetic recommendations.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 171 healthy infants between 1 and 12 months old were studied. Two types of inquiry were carried out: 24-recall and weekly frequency of food.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The percentage and duration of breastfeeding was low. Feeding with cows milk was more frequent than with breast milk from the age of 3 months. Thirty-eight per-cent of children had whole cows milk from the age of 6 months. Complementary feeding was introduced in accordance with international recommendations. The ingestion of energy and nutrients was also in accordance with the recommendations of the RDA during the first 6 months of life. In children aged 6-12 months, energy in-take was sufficient but diets were high in proteins and II-pIns and fairly high in carbohydrates.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ingestion of micronutrients and minerals are higher than is recommended except in the case of zinc.
