- Abstract
Objectives: to investigate the knowledge of puerperwomen about the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: Research with qualitative approach conducted from December 2020 to April 2021 at the Basic Health Unit Nova Imperatriz in Imperatriz (MA). Postpartum women attending the basic unit, in the process of breastfeeding or weaning, living in the area of coverage were included. Forty-two puerperal women who were interviewed and answered a semi-structured questionnaire participated in the study. The research met ethical principles and was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Maranhão under the opinion of number 4,378,168. Results: The age group of the puerperum ranged from 18 to 37 years, 76.1% were brown, 57% were married, had completed high school 47.6%, housewives 66.7%, with a family income of 1 to 2 minimum wages 38.1%, and without their own home housing 54.8%. They were primiparous 52.4%, all of them had prenatal care, with the majority (83.3%) showing up for more than six consultations. Qualitative data were analyzed and the following categories emerged: Promotion of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding; Myths and taboos about Breastfeeding; Risks of early interruption of exclusive breastfeeding. Final considerations: It was noticed that maternal knowledge about breastfeeding is still small. The guidelines provided in the health services were insufficient to adequately understand the relevance of exclusive breastfeeding, as well as for its support.
