Health Professionals' Knowledge, Perceptions, and Attitudes Toward Baby-Led Weaning: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Baby-led weaning (BLW) is a growing method for parents to introduce food to their kids. As advisers who affect the decisions of parents, health practitioners have significant obligations in this regard.

Objective

We aim to identify existing literature on the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of health professionals toward BLW.

Methods

We carried out a scoping review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. After registering with Open Science Framework, published articles were retrieved from EBSCOhost, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Open Grey, and the Portuguese Scientific Open Access Repository. Primary studies with full-text availability in English, Spanish, or Portuguese
