Résumé

Objective: Analyze the influence of skin-to-skin contact for the success of exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months after birth. Methods: An analytic, descriptive, prospective study, where a personal survey was conducted with 500 postpartum women selected by consecutive case test. Results: When skin-to-skin contact was uninterrupted, the percentage of exclusively breastfed babies by 6 months was 17.40%, and the artificially fed was 12.60%. In cases where skin-to-skin contact was interrupted, the rate of artificial feeding was higher (10.80%) compared to the rate of exclusive breastfeeding (4.40%). The variables that had the greatest influence on the success of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months were the feeding option for previous children and the one chosen at hospital discharge. Conclusions: Hospital care routines that interrupt skin-to-skin contact should be avoided, and exclusive breastfeeding should be properly established at hospital discharge.
