“…Many studies reported a significant and positive association between counselling and EBF. In the present study, mothers who had more than 8 prenatal medical appointments were more likely (OR = 1.88) to breastfeed more, which is in agreement with the results of other studies [ 29 , 35 , 36 ].…”

Background Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first 6 months of life is essential for maternal and child health. Breast milk is considered the most suitable food for the child in early years of life. Studies carried out in Cape Verde (INE; MSSS, Apresentação dos Principais Resultados Preliminares do IDSR-III, 2018) showed prevalence of EBF below the values recommended by the (WHO & UNICEF, Global Breastfeeding Scorecard, 2018. Enabling Women To Breastfeed Through Better Policies And Programmes, 2019). However, the determinants of EBF across the country have never been identified. The objective of this study is to estimate prevalence and identify the determinants of EBF in Cape Verde. Methods This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out between July 2018 and March 2019. The study population consisted of 1717 mothers of children aged less than or equal to 2 years, users of the Health Centers of the islands of Santo Antão, S. Vicente, Sal, Santiago and Fogo. A structured questionnaire was applied to mothers through an interview. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was estimated by frequency analysis. The chi-square test was used to assess the association between the duration of EB and the variables maternity leave, mother’s education, family income and health care variables. In order to identify the determinants of EBF, a binary logistic regression analysis was used. Results At the time of data collection, 32.50% of mothers practiced EBF. The present study shows that exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by several factors. The most representatives are maternal age (OR = 0.001*), level of education (OR = 0.028*), parity (OR = 0.004*) and number of prenatal consultations (OR = 0.019*). Receiving breastfeeding counseling was the only health care variable that was associated with the duration of EBF (p = 0.029). Conclusion In Cape Verde, the prevalence of EBF can be considered reasonable. The present study shows that EBF in the country is influenced by maternal age, level of education, parity and number of prenatal consultations.

“…Mothers who attended more than 8 prenatal visits were more likely (OR = 1.88) to breastfeed than mothers who attended fewer than 8 visits. The results of the present study are in agreement with those of (39), which states that the attendance of 6 or more prenatal visits may contribute to an increase in the duration of breastfeeding.…”

Background Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is essential for maternal and child health. Breast milk is considered the most appropriate food for children in the first years of life. Studies conducted in Cape Verde (1) show a prevalence of EBF below the recommended values (2). The determining factors of early weaning in the country are not known. The present study aims to estimate the prevalence of EBF and identify its determinants in Cape Verde. Method This is a cross-sectional, observational, quantitative, and analytical study. The study population consisted of mothers of children aged 2 years or younger who were users of health centers on the islands of Santo Antão, S. Vicente, Sal, Santiago, and Fogo. The chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between the duration of EBF and the variables maternity leave, maternal education, family income, and health care. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of the following variables as predictors of breastfeeding: maternal age, maternal education, marital status, family income, location of residence, pregnancy planning, prenatal care, number of prenatal visits, maternity leave, birth weight, breastfeeding in the first hour after delivery, parity, and breastfeeding counseling. Results A total of 1717 mothers aged between 13 and 49 years (Md = 26 years) were interviewed. Most were single (58.9%), had a secondary education (57%), were unemployed (59.3%), and resided in Santiago (35.7%). Breast milk being the best food for the baby/a developmental aid (33%) was the most prevalent reason for breastfeeding. The most cited reasons for stopping breastfeeding or never having breastfed were work (19.8%), insufficient milk (16%), and not liking to breastfeed (9.0%). At the time of data collection, 32.50% of the mothers had breastfed, and 49.2% continued to breastfeed exclusively but without reaching the 6 months necessary for breastfeeding to be considered EBF. Conclusion The prevalence of EBF in Cape Verde can be considered moderate. Maternal age, educational level, number of prenatal visits, and parity were significantly associated with breastfeeding. There was no significant relationship of maternity leave, maternal education, and family income with EBF. Receiving breastfeeding counseling was the only health care variable that was associated with the duration of EBF (p = 0.029).

“…Desempenhando papel relevante na rede de apoio à gestante e à nutriz, o pilar da Atenção Primária em Saúde (APS) também é indispensável para a promoção, proteção e apoio ao AM. Deste modo, foram implantadas diversas ações de incentivo à prática, tendo como exemplos a "Iniciativa Unidade Básica Amiga da Amamentação", que objetivou fomentar os "10 passos" no âmbito da AB por meio da capacitação profissional 21,17 ; e a "Rede Amamenta Brasil", a qual provocou uma reformulação e a pactuação das ações no fluxo de atendimento interdisciplinar ao binômio mãe-filho 3,17 .…”

Objetivo: Analisar os marcos políticos, jurídico-legais e sociais que contribuíram para a instituição da prática do aleitamento materno (AM) no Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de revisão integrativa de literatura, realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, Google Scholar, Medline e SciELO, utilizando-se os descritores: Aleitamento Materno, Atenção Primária em Saúde e Políticas Públicas, integrados com o operador booleano AND. A busca resultou em 15 estudos, publicados entre 1999 e 2020. Resultados: Foi possível verificar que, impulsionado por iniciativas internacionais, o Brasil vem implantando políticas públicas de incentivo ao AM em âmbito nacional, a exemplo do Programa Nacional de Aleitamento Materno e dos Bancos de Leite Humano. Tais ações impactaram positivamente nos indicadores de saúde da população, contudo necessitam de suporte jurídico legal para assegurar a aplicabilidade, pois envolvem diversos setores da sociedade. Conclusão: As medidas implementadas historicamente permitiram a expansão da prática do AM e indicam interesse governamental de apoio ao tema.
