| Abstract | The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests exclusive breastfeeding until six months of age. However, the most recent epidemiological studies in Brazil showed increased levels of early weaning. The pacifier has been mentioned among the risk factors for breastfeeding interruption. Objective: this study aimed to verify breastfeeding duration and risk factors to early weaning among children of private kindergarten. Methods: We held a cross sectional study with 55 children aged between 0 and 18 months, of 5 kindergartens in Porto Alegre, RS. The families answered questionnaires with data on pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding period, as well as about the mother’s socio demographics characteristics. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Hospital Moinhos de Vento (HMV-POA). The t student test, Qui Square, Kaplan-Meier and Poisson Regression were applied. The level of significance adopted was p< 0.05. Results: The prevalence of breastfeeding at 6 months was 1.8%. The average duration of breastfeeding was 180 days and the average duration of exclusive breastfeeding was 90 days. There was a positive association between weaning and pacifier use during the first days of life (RP 2.30 IC95%[1.02 a 4.91] p= 0.030). Receiving breastfeeding counseling during pregnancy was protection factor from early weaning (RP 0.60 IC95% [0.37 a 0.94] p=0.032). Conclusion: The prevalence of breastfeeding was beneath those proposed by WHO. The use of pacifier was determinant for early weaning, while receiving breastfeeding counseling helped to prevent early weaning |
