Abstract

Children from the moment of their birth constantly go through development processes, so the importance of this course being optimal is very important. Unfortunately, at present, the lack of knowledge and training for parents causes this process to be interrupted and/or present characteristics outside of medical recommendations. Nutrition and food in the growth stage of a child is essential for their development, it starts from a process of adaptation in the environments, stimulation is created and little by little it is coupled to the environments that surround it; This, together with a good diet, allows the child to grow with an efficient development. In the process of feeding an infant, it is important to recognize that from their first years of life, children require breast milk that is equipped with all the nutrients, antibodies and other qualities that a child needs for its development; then, as it grows, it requires incorporating complementary foods that will help it develop its neurological and intellectual capacities. All these characteristics have repercussions not only at the level of a person but at the level of an entire country, where according to the process that each one had in their growth, it will affect positively or negatively in their professional and personal development as an adult. Therefore, this project seeks to publicize the relevance of nutrition in children under five years of age in the city of Guayaquil, where according to census figures, great deficiencies in child nutrition are determined.
