| Abstract | EnglishIntroduction: Despite the proven benefits of breastfeeding, early cessation of breastfeeding is still prevalent, occurring significantly. Objectives: To assess the knowledge of pregnant women in prenatal care of a teaching hospital about myths / beliefs related to breastfeeding and to assess its influence on intention / duration of breastfeeding. Methods: Application of a questionnaire on socioeconomic factors, knowledge of myths / beliefs about breastfeeding and breastfeeding intention. Results: The study included 117 pregnant women, aged 27.3 ± 6.6 years, most economy class C and with complete secondary or higher education. The best known and believed myth was “dried milk/dry”.“Breast milk does not kill the baby seat” and “breasts fall with breastfeeding” were associated with less education, while “weak milk” and “milk does not kill the baby seat” were associated with major economic class C.Discussion:factors for early weaning were alleged “myths related to breastfeeding”, “laziness or unwillingness to breastfeed” and “work”. Conclusion:The myths / beliefs surrounding breastfeeding were very present in the daily lives of pregnant women as a cause of early weaning and should be studied more carefully and strategies designed to mitigate its negative impact on the population-nurturer. portuguesIntroducao: Apesar dos comprovados beneficios do aleitamento materno, a interrupcao precoce da amamentacao ainda prevalece, ocorrendo de forma significativa. Objetivos: Analisar o conhecimento de gestantes no pre- natal de um Hospital-Escola quanto a mitos/crencas relacionados ao aleitamento materno e verificar sua influencia na intencao/duracao do aleitamento. Metodos: Aplicacao de questionario sobre fatores socioeconomicos, conhecimento acerca de mitos/crencas sobre aleitamento materno e da pretensao de amamentacao. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 117 gestantes, com idade de 27,3 ±6,6 anos, a maioria da classe economica C e com ensino medio ou superior completo. O mito mais conhecido e acreditado foi “leite secou/seca”. “leite materno nao mata a sede do bebe” e “os seios caem com o aleitamento” estiveram associados a menor escolaridade, enquanto “leite fraco” e “leite materno nao mata a sede do bebe” estiveram associados a classe economica C. Discussao: Os principais fatores alegados para desmame precoce foram “mitos relacionados ao aleitamento materno”, “falta de vontade ou preguica de amamentar” e “trabalho” semelhante a outros estudos com populacoes semelhantes. Conclusao: Os mitos/crencas em torno do aleitamento materno foram muito presentes no cotidiano das gestantes como possiveis causas de desmame precoce, devendo ser estudados mais atentamente e estrategias criadas para amenizar seu impacto negativo na populacao nutriz. |
