Objectif: La periode d’alimentation complementaire est une periode critique pour la croissance de l’enfant. Cette etude vise a decrire l’alimentation des jeunes enfants âges de 6 a 36 mois en milieu rural et urbain du Sud-Benin. Methodologie et Resultats: Une enquete transversale a ete menee sur 600 meres ayant des enfants âges de 6 a 36 mois dans les zones rurales et urbaines du sud-Benin, ou la prevalence de la malnutrition chronique est elevee (prevalence variant de 40 % a 43 %). Les caracteristiques socio-economiques de la population, les connaissances (definition correcte de l'alimentation complementaire) et les pratiques (âge d'introduction de l'aliment de complement, les caracteristiques des aliments de complement) ont ete documentees. L'analyse en composante principale a ete utilisee pour identifier les associations entre les caracteristiques socioeconomiques de la population et les pratiques d’alimentation des jeunes enfants de 6 a 36 mois. Dans l’ensemble, 65% des meres meconnaissent la notion d’alimentation complementaire. L’introduction precoce des aliments de complement est observee dans 48.5% des cas. La bouillie dans 99.16% des cas est le premier aliment de complement donne aux enfants. Globalement, 67% des meres utilisent des bouillies locales, peu enrichies avec des matieres proteiques. La consommation de bouillie issue des farines infantiles vendues dans le commerce est associee au milieu urbain alors que la bouillie locale est associee au milieu rural. Conclusion et application des resultats : Les bouillies locales sont peu enrichies avec des matieres proteiques et les frequences de consommation journaliere sont faibles. Ces resultats revelent l’importance d’ameliorer les procedes et formulations traditionnelles des bouillies, strategies endogenes durables qui meritent d’etre encouragees par l’education nutritionnelle pour la production de bouillies enrichies a haute valeur nutritionnelle avec des matieres premieres locales accessibles pour couvrir les besoins nutritionnels et energetiques des jeunes enfants, gage d’une croissance optimale.

This study aims to describe the feeding of young children aged 6 to 36 months in rural and urban areas of the South Benin. Methodology and Results: A cross sectional survey was conducted on 600 mothers having children aged 6 to 36 months in rural and urban areas of the South Benin, where the prevalence of chronic malnutrition is high (prevalence between 40% to 43%). The socio economics data, knowledge (correct definition of complementary feeding) and practices (age of introduction of Complementary Foods, characteristics of Complementary Foods) were collected. Analysis of principal component was used to identify the associations between the socio economics data and feeding practices for 6 to 36 months’ young children. About, 65% of mothers ignore the concept of complementary feeding. The early introduction of complementary foods was observed in 48.5% of cases. Porridge in 99.16% of cases is the first complementary food given to children. Overall, 67% of mothers use local porridges slightly enriched with protein feeds. Porridge based on commercial infant flour consumption is associated with the urban area while local porridge is associated with rural areas. Conclusion and application and results: Local porridge is poorly enriched with protein feeds in rural areas and the frequencies of daily consumption are low. These results reveal the importance of improving the processes and traditional formulations of local porridges. Sustainable strategies that need to be encouraged by mothers ‘nutritional education for the production of enriched porridges with high nutritional value and local raw materials accessible in order to cover the nutritional requirements and energy need of young children, pledge of an optimal growth.
