In Chile, until December 31st, 2020, 12.5% of foreign residents were from Haiti. The nutritional status (NS) in pregnant women and infants is unknown; as well as the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) of the Haitian population residing in Chile. This study aimed to compare: (i) the NS of Haitian and Chilean pregnant women, (ii) the NS of infants, and (iii) the duration of EBF in children of Haitian and Chilean mothers. We analyzed the database of the Haitian and Chilean population attended between the years 2016-2019 at the Primary Care Health Center (CESFAM) "Los Castanos" located in the commune of La Florida. During the pregestational stage, the Haitian pregnant women had a higher prevalence of low weight compared to the Chilean pregnant women (p= 0,0003), whereas, at the end of the pregnancy, they had a higher prevalence of normal nutritional status (p= 0,0001) and a lower prevalence of obesity and a tendency at the end of pregnancy. Whereas at the end of the pregnancy, Chilean women had a higher prevalence of obesity. Regarding the nutritional status of the infants, differences were only observed in the first month of life, where 82% of Haitian infants had a normal weight compared to 24% of Chilean infants (p= 0.0001). No significant differences were observed in the prevalence of EBF up to 6 months between Haitian and Chilean infants (35.3% vs. 30%, respectively). It is important to mention that neither of the two groups of infants met the goal established by the World Health Organization (WHO) that proposes EBF for the first six months of life up to at least 50%. In conclusion, there are differences in the NE of pregnant and lactating women in both countries, while the prevalence of EBF in both groups was similar.
