在这项研究中，我们研究了婴儿喂养实践的社会文化因素。我们进行了四个焦点小组与19个拉丁裔母亲的0至2岁的儿童参加了早期的头开始计划在美国超过1年的时间。我们发现这些母亲考虑了科学和家庭为基础的喂养建议。然而，来自家庭的建议往往与基于科学和营养的推荐喂养做法不一致。为了表示尊重和维护和谐的关系，一些母亲接受了家庭的意见，而不是建议的做法，而另一些母亲则采取了策略，遵循建议的做法而不冒犯他人。营养教育工作者需要考虑宏观，组织和社区因素与微观层面的过程在塑造家庭系统内建议的喂养方法的实施的交叉点。拉丁裔家庭的营养干预措施应利用拉丁裔母亲的策略，在保持文化价值观和家庭关系的同时，导航多种信息来源。
In this study, we examined the sociocultural factors underlying infant feeding practices. We conducted four focus groups with 19 Latina mothers of children 0 to 2 years of age enrolled in Early Head Start programs in the United States over a 1-year period. We found these mothers considered both science- and family-based feeding recommendations. However, advice from family was often inconsistent with science- and nutrition-based recommended feeding practices. In the interest of showing respect and preserving harmonious relationships, some mothers accepted family advice instead of recommended practices while others employed strategies to follow recommended practices without offending. Nutrition educators need to consider the intersection of macro, organizational, and community factors with micro-level processes in shaping the implementation of recommended feeding practices within family systems. Nutrition interventions for Latino families should capitalize on Latina mothers' strategies for navigating multiple information sources while preserving cultural values and family relationships.
