Abstract

Objective: Investigate maternal aspects (age, schooling, type of delivery and previous experiences with breastfeeding), and the breastfeeding dyad performance in a public maternity. Methods: An analytical diagnostic study, carried out from November of 2016 to March of 2017, with 50 dyads mothers-NB, through the application of the “Breastfeeding Assessment Tool”, proposed by UNICEF. The collected data were tabulated and described by simple and percentage frequencies. Fisher’s Exact test was used to evaluate the association between variables, with a significance level of 5%. Results: In the breastfeeding situation, there were significant differences between maternal age and the newborn behavioral state; previous maternal experiences with breastfeeding and breastfeeding closure. Conclusion: Maternal age and previous breastfeeding experiences are factors that have influenced breastfeeding performance in this population. The evaluation of the performance of the dyad in breastfeeding allows the identification of difficulties, which may contribute to the design of behaviors by health professionals, considering the singularities of each dyad
