Abstrakt: In the transition period from breastfeeding to the introduction of complementary feeding, the choice of food is extremely important for the child's development as many factors may be related. This study aims to investigate, through a systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis, influence in the selection of foods in the introduction of complementary foods for children, including qualitative studies without language or publication period restrictions. Searches were performed in PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, Cinahl, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus. Initially, 12,489 articles were selected for tittle reading, 13 were included in the review. Four analytical themes related to factors influencing complementary feeding were identified: family socioeconomic conditions, cultural and family aspects, guidance and advice from health professionals, and factors inherent to the infant. Economic factors, such as the opportunity to offer foods not consumed during the parents' childhood, were emphasized. The influence of grandmothers' opinions and community beliefs and traditions were considered. Trust in pediatricians and community health agents' advice, although considered, conflicted with cultural and family traditions. Mothers/caregivers often preferred to offer foods the child shows preference for, rather than introducing new flavors. The findings underscore the need for a better understanding of qualitative aspects.
