Introduction: The study analyzes maternal care practices for infants under two years of age in health centers in Ecuador, focusing on physical safety. Methodology: A quantitative, analytical, and cross-sectional study was conducted with 384 mothers selected through intentional sampling. A validated instrument was used with 35 questions on demographic data and physical safety aspects. Statistical analysis included descriptive and inferential methods using Jamovi®. Results: Significant differences were found in care practices according to the mothers' age, educational level, and area of residence. Falls were the most common accident (59.7%). High levels of care were observed in areas such as supervision and burn prevention but low in transportation safety. Discussion: The findings show the influence of demographic factors on childcare practices. Implications for the design of specific educational interventions are highlighted. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of considering demographic variables in designing child health education and promotion programs, suggesting the need for interventions adapted to different maternal profiles.
