This exploratory qualitative study aimed to identify socio-cultural and intergenerational aspects of perception and practices in child feeding among quilombola women, members of maroon communities in Brazil. Four central themes were identified and represented in a socio-ecological conceptual model. Promoting adequate and healthy child feeding practices needs to address aspects of the quilombola women's socio-cultural context and adopt emancipatory approaches, guaranteeing quality care for this population.
