Processo de amamentação exclusiva entre as mulheres e crianças cadastradas no Programa Mãe Coruja no município de Santa Cruz - PE

Abstract

This study aims to potentiate the exclusive breastfeeding process among women and children enrolled in the Owl Mother Program in the Municipality of Santa Cruz - PE. The theme is of public health interest, as it involves health services, communities, the media, in favor of its incentive. The proposal is underway, with 4 educational workshops held from September to November 2017, morning shift, with women inserted in the attached area of two Family Health Units in the ESF Vila Nova units; ESF Bulletin in a time that ranged from 30 minutes to 50 minutes. Twenty-two pregnant women and six companions attended a total of 28 participants. The questions that emerged on the part of the pregnant women were: nutrition provided to the babies in the act of breastfeeding; the right time to breastfeed; the benefits for breastfeeding mothers. With the implementation of this proposal, it was possible to identify that breastfeeding is related to social, cultural, economic, and political factors. Breastfeeding is determined socioculturally. This understanding generated broad debate throughout the educational process. As a nurse, facilitating this process was not only a great social investment, but a particularly challenging one in the sense of transforming the place of the woman present in the discourses, placing her exclusively in the maternity to the approach of woman as subject, protagonist of its history.
