Abstract

To analyze the perceptions of primary health care professionals about the implementation of the Amamenta e Alimenta Brasil Strategy (EAAB). Qualitative research using an open evaluation form comprising three fields: positive aspects, negative aspects and suggestions. These were systematized by categorical content analysis and analyzed in the light of scientific literature. The following categories emerged among the positive aspects: "Acquisition of knowledge and clarification of doubts", "Teaching-learning methodology" and "Improvement of communication skills". Among the negative aspects: "Workshop logistics in Basic Health Units", "Limited time for qualification" and "Socio-economic determinants of infant feeding". Suggestions: "Expanding the content to the assisted community" and "Continuing health education activities". There was considerable acceptance of the EAAB among professionals, which favors its implementation process. The negative points and suggestions observed provide support for consolidating and expanding it.
