description Introduction: Childhood is a period of intense growth and development, as well as of vulnerability, requiring adequate monitoring. From the 6th month of life onwards, the moment of introduction of food (IA) begins, which, when performed correctly, allows an adequate supply of energy and nutrients. In this context, Primary Health Care (PHC) professionals responsible for Growth and Development (CeD) evaluations must be prepared to provide guidance on nutrition. Objective: Assessing the knowledge about IA of PHC professionals responsible for CeD evaluations. Methodology: Cross-sectional and quantitative study, developed with PHC professionals responsible for CeD consultations in the city of Currais Novos, RN. These professionals have answered an online semi-structured questionnaire on sociodemographic and professional profiles, knowledge and security, self-reported, concerning IA and doubts about it. Data were analyzed using absolute and relative frequencies. Results: No professional took a course in the field of IA, and 60.9% did not have access to the Food Guide. Most feel safe to pass on information about IA, but have doubts and seek to study the subject. As for the classification of their knowledge, 52.2% (n=12) classified themselves as “Good”; the classification “Very good”, in turn, was predominantly composed of nurses (87.2%). Fifteen questions were listed, including: quantity (n=12) and types of food to be offered (n=6), supply onset (n=3), use of teas (n=2) and amount of water to offer (n=2). Conclusion: Although most professionals have "Good" or "Very good" knowledge about IA, there is still a need to further study the theme due to both its need and relevance.

Introducción: La infancia es un periodo de intenso crecimiento y desarrollo, así como de vulnerabilidad, siendo necesario un seguimiento adecuado. A partir del 6º mes de vida, se inicia el momento de introducción alimentaria (IA) que, cuando realizada de forma correcta, permite adecuado aporte energético y de nutrientes. En este contexto, profesionales de la Atención Primaria de Salud (APS) responsables de las consultas de Crecimiento y Desarrollo (CyD) deben estar preparados para realizar orientaciones sobre alimentación. Objetivo: Evaluar el conocimiento sobre IA de los profesionales de la APS responsables de las consultas de CyD. Metodología: Estudio transversal y cuantitativo desarrollado con profesionales de la APS responsables por las consultas de CyD del municipio de Currais Novos, RN. Estos profesionales, respondieron, de forma online, cuestionario semiestructurado sobre perfil sociodemográfico y profesional, conocimiento y seguridad auto reportados por los profesionales, conocimiento sobre IA y dudas sobre IA. Los datos se analizaron utilizando frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Resultados: Ningún profesional realizó curso en el área de IA y 60,9% no tuvo acceso a la Guía Alimentar. La mayor parte se siente seguro para repasar las informaciones sobre IA, pero tiene dudas y busca estudiar sobre la temática. En cuanto a la clasificación de los conocimientos, 52,2% (n=12) se clasificó como “Bueno”; la clasificación “Muy bueno”, por su parte, fue compuesta predominantemente por enfermeros (87,2%). Fueron enumeradas 15 dudas, entre ellas: cuantidad (n=12) y tipos de alimentos a ser ofertados (n=6), inicio de la oferta (n=3), uso de tés (n=2) y cuantidad de agua para ofertar (n=2). Conclusiones: A pesar de que la mayoría de los profesionales posee “Bueno” o “Muy bueno” conocimiento sobre IA, aún existe la necesidad de profundización en la temática debido a la necesidad y relevancia.
