Abstract

To describe the profile of exclusive breastfeeding at a maternity hospital in the northern region of Santa Catarina, Brazil. This observational, descriptive, and prospective study gathered sociodemographic data and information regarding childbirth and lactation through interviews in the maternity ward, medical records, and telephone contacts at 7 and 15 days post-discharge. A total of 297 postpartum women participated. The average age was 26.2 ± 6.3 years. Most were of white ethnicity, married, with an income between one and five minimum wages, smokers, and had skin-to-skin contact within the first hour of their baby's life. The first bath predominantly occurred between 6 and 15 hours after birth, and over 84% of the postpartum women maintained exclusive breastfeeding at 7 and 15 days. A high prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was observed, underscoring its benefits and highlighting the need for healthcare teams to adopt breastfeeding promotion strategies.
