Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the knowledge of Primary Health Care professionals regarding breastfeeding (BF) and supplementary feeding (SF) using a cross-sectional approach with 168 participants.
- Results showed that only 39.29% of the professionals demonstrated good knowledge of BF, while a mere 2.38% were knowledgeable about SF, and many were unfamiliar with Brazil's breastfeeding and feeding program.
- There were significant associations found between knowledge levels and factors like education, occupation, and involvement in healthcare related to BF and SF, indicating that better education led to improved knowledge in these areas.
