Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EA) and factors associated with its interruption among mothers of children from 0 to 6 months of age in the municipality of Santo Antônio de Jesus -BA. Method: Cross-sectional study with 278 mothers, attended in health units of the municipality. Data were collected through interviews. Through hierarchical multiple analysis, a crude and adjusted prevalence ratio (PR), and their respective confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Results: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 39.6%. The variables race/skin color (nonblack), primiparity, absence of family support for breastfeeding, dissatisfaction during breastfeeding, and pacifier use were associated with interruption of the outcome. Conclusion: The frequency of exclusive breastfeeding was below the indicator recommended by the Ministry of Health. Among the factors that were associated with the interruption of exclusive breastfeeding are socioeconomic characteristics related to reproductive history and lifestyle, as well as conditions related to the child. More effective breastfeeding promotion measures are necessary to mitigate this outcome.

纯母乳喂养的做法及其中断的相关因素

目的:调查Santo Antônio de Jesus -BA市0 - 6月龄儿童母亲纯母乳喂养(EA)的流行情况及其中断的相关因素。方法:对278名在本市卫生单位就诊的母亲进行横断面研究。通过访谈收集数据。通过分层多元分析，计算粗患病率和调整患病率(PR)及其各自的置信区间(95% CI)。结果:纯母乳喂养率为39.6%。种族/肤色(非黑人)、初产、缺乏家庭对母乳喂养的支持、母乳喂养期间的不满和安抚奶嘴的使用等变量与结果的中断有关。结论:纯母乳喂养频次低于卫生部推荐指标。与中断纯母乳喂养有关的因素包括与生育史和生活方式有关的社会经济特征，以及与儿童有关的条件。需要采取更有效的母乳喂养促进措施来缓解这一结果。
