ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Breastfeeding is the most complete form of nutrition in the first months of life, providing all the necessary nutrients for immune protection and healthy development, in addition to promoting the well-being of both mother and baby. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended until 6 months and continued breastfeeding until 2 years or more. This low-cost, high-impact practice strengthens the emotional bond, contributes to health, and reduces maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, health services, especially in Primary Care, should encourage breastfeeding from the prenatal period onwards, through consistent guidance and continuous support. OBJECTIVES: To highlight the benefits of breastfeeding and discuss the factors that interfere with its maintenance.
