Alegações maternas acerca da interrupção precoce do aleitamento materno exclusivo em unidades de saúde, no município de Amargosa-BA.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the allegations about the mother's early introduction of complementary feeding. The methodology used was semi structured interviews with 30 mothers who stopped breastfeeding early for their children (before six months), users of health facilities Katie neighborhoods, San Roque and Jequitibá. Among the most prevalent factors described are associated with "weak or little milk," back to work and complications of puerperal breast (mastitis, breast engorgement, breast cracks among others). We conclude that responsibility for the act of breastfeeding should be ensured by the mother as well as other actors of society
