Introduction-Objective: In the first 1000-day period, baby feeding paterni has a significant impact on the growth and development of the child. We aimed at exploring the effects of breast milk use and eating habits on malnutrition development. Tools and Methods: A survey form was filled with 250 primary malnutrition and 250 malnutrition-free patients between 9 months and 5 years of age who subsequently applying for child gastroenterology and general pediatric clinics, questioning the mother’s milk intake periods and nutritional habits. The average age of malnutrition patients in the study was 19.77 ± 9.90 months, while non-malnutrition patients were 20,584 ± 10.971 months. There was no statistically meaningful difference between the two groups in terms of age and gender (respectively P=0,385, P=0,140). The total breast milk time was significantly lower in the malnutrition group of patients (respectively P=<0,001, P=0,001). For the development of malnutrition, we found the minimum cutting point of the time of nutrition with only breast milk ≤ 4.5 months (sensitivity 72, peculiarity 54% P=0,001). At the same time, we saw that the father was significantly less involved in the baby’s nutrition in the malnutrition group (P=<0,001). In children over the age of two, the rate of non-permissions to self-nutrition was higher in the malnutrition group (P=<0,001). We saw that the age of transition to finger nutrients was higher in the malnutrition group (P=0,002). We found that the time of completion of the meal was longer in the malnutrition group (P<0,001). We have seen that in the malnutrition group, the incidence of non-age nutrition is higher (P<0,001). The result: Our study shows that the time of breast milk intake and eating habits affect the development of malnutrition.
