Abstract
Objective: To determine knowledge ́s degree about breastfeeding in primigravid pregnant women. Methods: An explicative, prospective and transversal research was done in primigravid pregnant women who attended to Antenatal consult and were submitted to a questionnaire in which general characteristics (age, marital status and type of job or profession) were recorded and knowledge about breastfeeding was evaluated through analysis of different aspects of this practice. Results: Eighty pregnant women were selected with a mean age of 19.7 +/- 5.1 years and most of them were married (55.3%) and were housewife (48.7%). They showed high knowledge about contraindications (78.8%) and right positions for breastfeeding (73.8%) and lower knowledge about manual extraction and storage of maternal milk (12.5%). Assotiation between age and advantages of exclusive breastfeeding was found negative, weak and significant (r = -0.227; p < 0.05). There was also found a significant, negative and weak association between marital status and advantages of exclusive breastfeeding (r = -0.245; p < 0.05) and positive and weak with right breastfeeding positions (r = 0.290; p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results of research shows that primigravid pregnant women have a high knowledge ́s degree about certain aspects of breastfeeding, but efforts should be done to improve understanding of other aspects related to this practice
