Abstract

Objective: to identify the determining factors for pregnant women's knowledge about breastfeeding. Methodology: This is an epidemiological, exploratory, cross-sectional study carried out with pregnant women in a municipality in the state of Paraná.

Results: 384 pregnant women, with an average age of 27.8 years, participated in the study. Those with a level of education <8 years (OR: 2.4 (1.12 - 5.24)), women with one or more children (OR: 5.2) had the greatest chance of not knowing about breastfeeding.
