Abstract

This study aimed to identify the main
difficulties related to breast-feeding and to survey
interventions referent to breast-feeding requested by
the puerperas who were attended in a gynecology and
obstetrics clinic in a municipality in the southern region of
Brazil. This descriptive longitudinal study was undertaken
between May and August 2012, monitoring 31 motherchild dyads and collecting data through inter views at three
separate points. In the first puerperal consultation, 61.5%
of the children were being exclusively breast-fed and
6.5% had already been weaned. There was an increase
in the percentage of the exclusive breast-feeding in the
subsequent contacts after 40 days (80%) and 60 days
after birth (84%). The main difficulties found were breast
engorgement, fissures, hypogalactia mentioned and the
mother’s need to return to work. Interventions held during
the study period contributed positively to the maintenance
of breast-feeding.
