Summary
METHODSBreastfeeding is considered the only ideal food for children[1], having a fundamental role in promoting maternal-infant health, and being responsible for helping to develop the right microenvironment for intestinal development and maturation of the child’s immune system[2,3]. Global indicators show that only 35% of children are exclusively breastfed during the first four months of life [5]. It is understood that the decision to breastfeed, as well as its maintenance, is a complex process that depends on a series of aspects and that several factors can influence this institution. This attitude is often related to the history of maternal life and the meaning it attaches to breastfeeding, being associated with her experiences and the education she has received since childhood [7]
