ResumoObjective To rank the food and beverage elements of the infants' diets in terms of the principal contributors to each macro‐ and micronutrient of interest. Methods 3 non‐consecutive 24‐h recalls were collected from mothers of 64 infants, aged 6‐12 mo, in the rural village Santo Domingo Xenacoj. We modeled Maternal Milk (MM) intake based on total energy recommendations. The macro‐ and micronutrient contribution from each of the food and beverage items reported were ranked in relation to the total reported intakes among the infants. Results The top five sources of protein were: Incaparina; MM; white rolls; pasta; and tortilla, accounting for 52.5% of the total. MM was the leading sources of fat, vit C, ribo, and nia, and figured among the top 10 sources of all macro‐ and micronutrients with the exception of CHO, Fe and Zn. Table sugar is fortified with Vit A in Guatemala and that item was the first source of the vitamin, accounting for 24.1% of its total consumption; MM was second, providing 21.6%. Overall, 21%of CF items were fortified. 5% of CF could be classified as special "baby foods," with the remainder being family food. Conclusions The contribution of MM is indispensable in contributing toward an adequate macro‐ and micronutrient intake of infants in the second semester of life.
