Objective: To analyze the nutritional composition of milk preparations (MP) consumed by children aged 6-23 months. Method: We analyzed the list of MP (n = 183) reported by parents or guardians of children aged 6-23 months in a survey conducted with a representative sample of children using SUS in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The referred MP were typified according to their ingredients. The adequacy of reconstitution of powdered milk products was examined. The nutritional composition of the MP was compared to that of mature human milk and the Recommended Daily Intake, and analyzed as a function of the relative energy participation of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in 100 kcal of each MP. Results: Most MP was composed of cow's milk added with a thickener and / or sugar and / or fruit (86.9%). Of the total MP, 85% contained at least one UPF. Most MP with powdered milk products had lower product concentration than recommended by the manufacturer. As a whole, MP were hyperproteic, hypercaloric and had high levels of micronutrients when compared to human milk. In general, they extrapolated the daily nutrient recommendations for protein and micronutrients and, due to the relative participation of UPF, showed a positive correlation for carbohydrates and part of the analyzed micronutrients and a negative correlation for proteins and lipids. Regardless of this participation, their nutritional profile was very different from that of breast milk. Conclusion: The analyzed MP presented nutritional profile far from desirable, with high levels for some nutrients and low for others, in any level of participation of UPA in its composition.
