Cultural practices impact adherence to complementary feeding guidelines in a multicultural community in Lisbon, Portugal
Adherence to ESPGHAN complementary feeding guidelines was suboptimal, particularly among immigrant families. Tailored healthcare interventions that consider cultural and socioeconomic factors are necessary to enhance the complementary feeding practices. Further research is needed to monitor these practices and evaluate the effectiveness of culturally sensitive healthcare policies.
