Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate if the Complementary Feeding Baby Led Weaning (AC BLW) has a protective effect against malnutrition due to excess in preschool children and to determine their sociodemographic characteristics and the proportion of preschool children with normal weight and malnourished by excess who received this type of feeding. It had a scope of children whose fathers and / or mothers belong to maternity or paternity social network groups associated with health professionals. Methodology: The design was observational, analytical, retrospective, case-control type, 38 cases and 66 controls with a case-control ratio of 1 / 1.73. The study population consisted of children of either sex between 24 and 60 months of age. A network of contacts of health professionals was used to disseminate the virtual survey. The data collected on the duration of lactation, the method of complementary feeding and the type of delivery, and others of interest, were extrapolated to Excel and later to the SPSS software to determine the association and the OR for a case-control study. Results: In the descriptive analysis, greater participation was obtained from the countries of Argentina and Peru. Most of the cases and controls were female with a mean age of 34.17 months. In the inferential analysis, an OR of 0.187 (95% CI 0.078-0.444) was obtained, which means that the AC BLW significantly reduces the risk of suffering from malnutrition due to excess in (1-0.187 = 0.81) 81%, with respect to the who had Conventional Complementary Food (AC CV). Conclusion: It is concluded that AC BLW has a protective effect against malnutrition due to excess in preschool children, however, cohort studies should be carried out to prospectively evaluate the evolution of the infant from the beginning of the AC to 60 months, considering other biopsychosocial variables.
