description  The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased alarmingly worldwide. In infants, the etiology is multi-causal, highlighting the intake as a determinant for weight gain. The alimentary behavior of the infant and the poor perception of hunger and satiety signals of their children perceived by some mothers difficult the self-regulation of the appetite-satiety behavior and may favor the development of obesity. However, research is still limited. The objective of this study was to identify how the mother perceives the eating behavior of her child and how it relates to the nutritional status of the infant. The design was descriptive correlational. 40 dyads were studied (mother-son under the age of 6 months) who attended the Healthy Child Control program of a public health institution. The sociodemographic characteristics of the dyad and anthropometric measurements of height and weight were explored. The Baby Eating Behavior Questionnaire was used to measure the feeding behavior of the infant through four scales. The mean age of the infants was 4.03 months. (DE = 1.16). The 37.5 % were overweight and the 62.5 % were males. The mother´s most often perceived feeding behavior was “enjoyment of food” (= 4.85; DE = 0.34), and the least frequently perceived was “satiety responsiveness” (= 2.06; DE = 0.83). The “My baby has a good appetite” perception was correlated to the BMI of the infant (rs = 0.299, P < 0.05). Mothers were more sensitive to perceive their child´s hunger signals, but not with satiety signals, which may favor the rapid weight gain in infants and thus the obesity development at early age.

En lactantes, la etiología es multicausal, destacando la ingesta como un determinante clave para el aumento de peso. El comportamiento alimentario del lactante y que algunas madres perciban pobremente las señales de hambre y saciedad de su hijo, dificultan la autorregulación de la conducta de apetito-saciedad y puede favorecer el desarrollo de la obesidad. Sin embargo, las investigaciones aún son limitadas. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar cómo percibe la madre la conducta de alimentación de su hijo y cómo se relaciona con el estado nutricio del lactante menor de seis meses de edad. El diseño fue descriptivo correlacional, se estudiaron 40 díadas (madre-hijo menor de seis meses de edad) que asistieron al programa Control de Niño Sano de una institución de salud pública. Se exploraron las características sociodemográficas de la díada y mediciones antropométricas de peso y talla. Se utilizó el Baby Eating Behavior Questionnarie para medir a través de cuatro subescalas la conducta alimentaria del lactante. La media de edad de los lactantes fue de 4.03 meses (DE = 1.16). El 37.5 % presentaron sobrepeso y el 62.5 % eran varones. La conducta alimentaria más percibida por la madre fue “disfrute de alimentos” (= 4.85; DE = 0.34), la conducta menos percibida fue “respuesta de saciedad” (= 2.06; DE = 0.83). La conducta de “mi bebé tiene un gran apetito” se correlacionó con el IMC del lactante (rs = 0.299, P < 0.05). Las madres fueron más sensibles para percibir las señales de hambre de su hijo, no así con las señales de saciedad, lo cual puede favorecer el aumento de peso rápido en el lactante y por ende el desarrollo de la obesidad a edad temprana.
