Le prÃ©sent article a pour objectif gÃ©nÃ©ral dâ€™analyser la prise en charge de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ© chez les communautÃ©s BaoulÃ©. De faÃ§on spÃ©cifique, il permet de comprendre lâ€™alimentation de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ© chez les BaoulÃ© dâ€™une part et dâ€™autre part, les habitudes alimentaires de la nourrice dans la prise en charge de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ©. Cette Ã©tude sâ€™est dÃ©roulÃ©e en 2016 auprÃ¨s des sous-groupes BaoulÃ©, Faly de BouakÃ© et NananfouÃ¨ de Yamoussoukro. Les enquÃªtÃ©es Ã©taient composÃ©es de femmes de troisiÃ¨me Ã¢ge et de matrones, auprÃ¨s desquelles ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©s douze entretiens semi structurÃ©s individuels et quatre focus groups. Les entretiens individuels Ã©taient adressÃ©s aux matrones et les focus groups animÃ©s avec les femmes de troisiÃ¨me Ã¢ge. Au total, quatre focus groups et douze entretiens individuels ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©s. Le nombre de femmes de troisiÃ¨me Ã¢ge ayant participÃ© aux focus groups est 32, soit 8 femmes par focus group et 12 matrones ont Ã©tÃ© interviewÃ©es individuellement. Les entretiens ont Ã©tÃ© enregistrÃ©s Ã lâ€™aide dâ€™un dictaphone et transcrits entiÃ¨rement puis les donnÃ©es ont Ã©tÃ© analysÃ©es. Lâ€™analyse globale des donnÃ©es a Ã©tÃ© obtenue par synthÃ¨se transversale des analyses des entretiens individuels et des focus groups. Pour des raisons Ã©thiques, les identitÃ©s des rÃ©pondantes ont Ã©tÃ© remplacÃ©es par des prÃ©noms fictifs. Lâ€™Ã©tude a rÃ©vÃ©lÃ© dâ€™une part que la prise en charge alimentaire de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ© est fondÃ©e sur lâ€™alimentation. Il sâ€™agit du lait maternel, des complÃ©ments alimentaires et de la pÃ©riode de sevrage. Dâ€™autre part, elle a montrÃ© que la nourrice doit se passer des aliments comme la mangue, le foutou couchÃ©, lâ€™Å“uf, lâ€™attiÃ©kÃ©, le silure et le maÃ¯s frais pour une bonne santÃ© de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ©. Ainsi, le respect et lâ€™application de ces pratiques et connaissances socioculturelles seraient une garantie Ã lâ€™amÃ©lioration de la santÃ© de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ©. En somme, la santÃ© de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ© dÃ©coule dâ€™un suivi minutieux de son alimentation et de lâ€™alimentation de la nourrice. Car, lâ€™alimentation serait fondamentale pour la santÃ© de lâ€™enfant allaitÃ©.
This paper focuses on analyzing the management of breastfed children in BaoulÃ© communities. It provides an understanding of the feeding of breastfed children among the BaoulÃ© as well as the nurse's feeding habits for the care of breastfed children. The study highlights the need to take into account the socio-cultural knowledge in the care of breastfed children in BaoulÃ© communities. It was also conducted in 2016 among the BaoulÃ©, Faly of BouakÃ©, and NananfouÃ¨ of Yamoussoukro subgroups. The respondents were composed of elderly women and matrons, which included twelve semistructured individual interviews and four focus groups. The individual interviews were addressed to the matrons and the focus groups were conducted with senior women. A total of four focus groups and twelve individual interviews were conducted. The number of elderly women who participated in the focus groups was 32, i.e., 8 women per focus group and 12 matrons were interviewed individually. The interviews were recorded using a dictaphone and transcribed in full, and the data were analyzed. The overall data analysis was obtained by cross-cutting synthesis of the analysis of the individual interviews and focus groups. For ethical reasons, the respondentsâ€™ identities were replaced by fictitious first names. The study revealed, on the one hand, that the nutritional management of the breastfed child is based on feeding. This includes breast milk, food supplements, and the weaning period. On the other hand, it was shown that the nurse must do without foods such as mangoes, couch potato, egg, attiÃ©kÃ©, sheatfish, and fresh corn for the good health of the breastfed child. The respect and application of these socio-cultural practices and knowledge would be a guarantee for the improvement of the health of the breastfed child. In short, the health of the breastfed child is the result of careful monitoring of his or her diet and of the nurse's feeding. Nutrition is therefore fundamental to the health of the breastfed child.
