  • Descrição: To carry out a narrative review on the use of marketing strategies in child nutrition, as well as potential implications for health professionals and children. Searches were carried out on the PubMed, SciELO, and Google platforms, using the terms “child nutrition” or “industrialized baby food” or “infant formula” or “breast milk” or “breastfeeding” and “marketing”, with original articles, review articles, institutional reports, institutional position documents and websites considered relevant to the topic being analyzed. Children's food marketing started with the industrialization of food and the resulting actions aimed at increasing sales and meeting commercial interests. Since its inception to the present, infant formulas have been the most widely used products, which has impacted breastfeeding practices. International and national institutions, that care for children's health, are searching for strategies to limit the abusive marketing of industrialized children's foods. Marketing strategies interfere with medical knowledge and actions, potentially influencing the guidance provided by pediatricians to families, and finally, compromising healthy eating practices at a critical period in life, with possible long-term effects. Health professionals, especially pediatricians, must provide the best care for children and families, and need to maintain the search for quality scientific information, not influenced by conflicts of interest. Updated and critical knowledge on the part of healthcare professionals can curb marketing strategies that aim to influence their actions.
