Objective: To examine changes in food consumption during pregnancy and the postpartum period in women of major Asian ethnic groups. Design: Using interviewer-administered questionnaires, we assessed changes in food consumption during pregnancy (26-28 weeks' gestation) and the postpartum period (3 weeks after delivery) as compared with the usual pre-pregnancy diet. Setting: Singapore. Subjects: Pregnant women (n 1027) of Chinese, Malay and Indian ethnicity (mean age 30?4 (SD 5?2) years) who participated in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) study. Results: During pregnancy, participants tended to increase their consumption of milk, fruit and vegetables and decrease their consumption of tea, coffee, soft drinks and seafood (all P , 0?001). Most participants reported adherence to traditional restrictions ('confinement') during the early postpartum period (Chinese: 94?8 %, Malay: 91?6 %, Indian: 79?6 %). During the postpartum period, participants tended to increase their consumption of fish and milk-based drinks and decrease their consumption of noodles, seafood, and chocolates and sweets (all P , 0?001). Ethnic differences in food consumption were pronounced during the postpartum period. For example, most Chinese participants (87?2 %) increased their ginger consumption during the postpartum period as compared with smaller percentages of Malays (31?8 %) and Indians (40?8 %; P for ethnic difference ,0?001). Similar ethnic differences were observed for cooking wine/alcohol, herbs and spices, and herbal tea consumption. Conclusions: Marked changes in food consumption that reflect both modern dietary recommendations and the persistence of traditional beliefs were observed in Singaporean women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Traditional beliefs should be considered in interventions to improve dietary intakes during these periods.

“…Fatores culturais, como os tabus alimentares, influenciam negativamente a promoção do aleitamento materno resultando no desmame precoce 5,6,7 . A palavra tabu, segundo o minidicionário Aurélio 8 significa aquilo que está sujeito a imposições, restrições ou escrúpulos injustificados ou infundados.…”

“…As mães que sofrem uma forte influência cultural, geográfica, familiar e socioeconômica do meio em que vivem, geralmente acabam aceitando certos tabus como forma de entenderem alguns resultados como do "leite fraco", "leite que não sustenta", choro excessivo do bebê após as mamadas, problemas nas mamas, entre outros 3,5,6,7,12 . Para Lima 13 , faz-se necessário a intensificação das ações de incentivo e apoio ao aleitamento materno e para isso, os fatores que influenciam o aleitamento materno devem ser considerados na operacionalização destas ações.…”

Fatores culturais, como os tabus alimentares, influenciam negativamente a promoção do aleitamento materno resultando no desmame precoce. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar as diferenças nas práticas alimentares de um determinado grupo de mães em relação ao aleitamento. Estudo transversal constituído por mães de crianças menores de dois anos de idade inscritas no Programa de Puericultura de duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município de Guarapuava-PR. Sendo uma localizada na região periférica (US 1) e a outra na área central (US 2), para verificar as diferenças nas práticas alimentares dessa população. Participaram do estudo 96 mães com média de idade 25,11 anos, das quais 86,5% afirmaram acreditar que algum alimento pudesse prejudicar na amamentação. Os principais alimentos a serem evitados, segundo as mães, foram: alimentos ácidos, bebidas alcoólicas, chocolate e refrigerantes. As mães das unidades 1 e 2 mencionam ter feito consumo de alimentos derivados do milho, e apenas na US 2 foi mencionado o consumo de cerveja preta como alimento lacto gênico. Não foram encontradas diferenças entre as unidades de saúde 1 e 2. Em relação às restrições alimentares não foram encontrados dados relevantes ligados aos tabus das entrevistadas. Destaca-se a importância da orientação para a promoção do aleitamento materno para incentivar e sanar as dúvidas das mães, evitando assim o desmame precoce e a continuidade do aleitamento até os dois anos de idade ou mais da criança. Palavras-chave: Aleitamento materno. Hábitos alimentares. Tabu alimentar.Cultural factors, such as food taboos, negatively influence the promotion of breastfeeding, resulting in early weaning. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in eating habits of a group of mothers in relation to breastfeeding. Cross-sectional study consisting of mothers of children under two years old enrolled in the Child Care Program of two Basic Health Units of Guarapuava-PR. One located in the peripheral region (US 1) and the other in the central area (US 2) to detect differences in eating habits of this population. The study included 96 mothers with mean age 25,11 years, of which 86.5% said they believed that some food would undermine breastfeeding. The main foods to be avoided, according to the mothers, were acidic foods, alcohol, chocolate and soft drinks. Mothers of units 1 and 2 have made mention consumption of foods derived from corn, and only two mentioned in the U.S. 2 beer consumption as food lactogenic black. No differences were found between the health U.S. 1 and U.S. 2. In relation to dietary restrictions were not found relevant data related to the taboos of the interviewees. Highlights the importance of orientation to promote breastfeeding and encourage mothers to solve any doubts, avoiding early weaning and continued breastfeeding until two years of age or older child.
