Introduction: it is unquestionable the superiority of breast milk in feeding the new-born human individual. Therefore, it is an essential objective of the Maternal-Infantile Program in Cuba.
Objective: to identify causes and effects of the exclusive maternal breastfeeding.
Materials and Methods: a descriptive study was carried out in the policlinic “José Luis Dubrocq” of Contreras, from January 2013 to February 2015. The sample was 255 mothers with nursing infants aged less than 6 months, who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The studied variables were: kind of feeding, age of exclusive breastfeeding discontinuation, causes, consequences and nutritional assessment. For gathering information, a questionnaire was applied and clinical records were reviewed. The informed consent and voluntariness were taken into account.
Results: the bottle feeding was the most used one, with 57,6 %. The age of two months predominated in maternal breastfeeding discontinuation, for 38,4 %. Hypogalactia prevailed as a cause for discontinuing it (47,1 %). There it was 63,2 % of allergic diseases incidence in children with bottle feeding, higher presence of acute respiratory infections, with 87,1 %, acute diarrheic infections (51,7 %), and malnutrition (48,3 %). It was found a 63,8 % of norm-weight children with exclusive maternal breastfeeding.
Conclusions: bottle feeding predominated beginning form the age of two months, with hypogalactia the cause of discontinuing maternal breastfeeding. In a proportional way, allergic diseases, acute respiratory infections, acute diarrheic infections and malnourished children increased.
