The objective the present study was to evaluate the factors associated with breastfeeding, and consumption of cow's milk and infant formula. This is a cross-sectional study, from a matrix study ENFAC, with 213 children between 12 to 15 months. Milk consumption was evaluated using R24h. We analyzed the association of the independent variables with the outcomes breastfeeding, consumption of cow's milk and consumption of infant formula. The infants were categorized in three groups: breastfeeding (BF), complemented breastfeeding (CBF) and not breastfeeding (NBF). The mean intake of macronutrients and calcium adjusted for energy, and average month weight and length gain was compared among groups. It was observed that 50.2% of the children were breastfed and 56.1% of breastfed children consumed another milk. There was a negative association between maternal education and consumption of cow´s milk (p = 0.046), however positive association with the amount of milk ingested for infants (p = 0.005). Energy intake of the CBF group was higher than the BF and NBF (p < 0.001). Moreover, the CBF group showed average month weight gain greater than BF (p = 0.017). Calcium intake was higher in the NBF group (p < 0.001). It was concluded that half of the infants consumed breast milk and it was found a high consumption of other milks for breast-fed infants. Children of mothers with a lower level of education consumed cow's milk more often; however, the amount ingested was lower. Those in complemented breastfeeding presented higher energy consumption and greater weight gain.
