- Abstract
Objective: To identify the knowledge of mothers of infants about food hypersensitivity due to allergy to cow's milk proteins and lactose intolerance. Methods: Descriptive exploratory study, quantitative type, carried out with mothers of infants through a structured questionnaire and subsequently performed descriptive data analysis. Results: As for the level of knowledge, 57% have none about allergy to cow's milk proteins and 43% admitted that they have no knowledge about lactose intolerance. And 87% of mothers reported that they had never received guidance about allergy to cow's milk proteins and 57% had never been instructed about lactose intolerance either. The most cited sources of information were pediatricians, family members and the use of digital media. Conclusion: The knowledge of mothers about food hypersensitivity is fragmented and fragile, in addition to having a deficit in the guidelines provided by professionals.
