DISCUSSION

According to the Interagency Group for Action on Breastfeeding, the breastfeed can be defined in some kinds:

- exclusive breasfeed: the child receive only mother´s milk.

- almost exclusive breastfeed: child receive mother´s milk and other foods.

- partial breastfeed: the child receive many kinds of foods, and also mother´s milk.

- residual breastfeed: the child have only 15 minutes of breastfeeding.

There are may factors that must to be considered in the difficulty of breastfeeding: lack of breastfeed technique, liquid supplementation satiating the child, pacifier use, nipple protectors use, custom to breastfeed in only one breast, maternal tension or stress and the use of drugs that cause interference in milk production.

The breastfeed is very important for all that are involved with it. Some advantages, scientifically confirmed are: it improve the newborn baby nutrition, it accentuate the love between mother and son, it protect the women health, it reduce the childish mortality, it improves the physical and psychological development of the child, it reduce the childish hospitalization, and it have an important economical factor.

But many mothers didn´t act as they have to do, breastfeeding their child. Most of times, they have only the excuse that they have to work. For them, there are many rules to conciliate the breastfeed and the work:

- Before work: have a exclusive breastfeed, get the milk and conserve it adequately, and make that the child know who will stay with it when the mother got to work.

- After work: Breastfeed when she were at home, after and before get out, not feed the baby near the breastfeeding time, and avoid the use of feeding-bottle.

The breastfeeding act involve directly the mother and the baby, but the father´s participation is very important. He must have to have a effective and affective participation doing things like that: incentive his wife to breastfeed, stay with his wife in all medical consults, helps her with the other childs, increase his patience, and do not incentive the use of other kinds of milks, feeding-bottle or pacifier.
