Abstract

In the daily assistance daily we meet women that feel unsafe before the challenge of being nutritious. Thus,the nurse must act as facilitator, providing information and care. Based on this premise we developed a study which objectwas the nurse´s orientation to the primaparous mother, the objective was to understand the nurse´s reasons-for whileorienting breastfeeding to primiparous women. It was used the qualitative research as methodology, using the AlfredSchütz´s phenomenological approach. The research setting was a School-Maternity, located in Rio de Janeiro and thesubjects, the Nurses working in the Maternal Breastfeeding Program of this unit. The results showed nurses’ expectationswhen orienting the primiparous about breastfeeding: to foster breastfeeding and alert about its difficulties and complications.In conclusion, nurses when assisting primiparous mothers could promote a differentiated care by orienting aboutbreastfeeding, assisting in a biopsychosocial context, unveiling myths and beliefs about breastfeeding.
