Abstract
OBJECTIVES
to identify factors that interfere with the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in quilombola communities.
METHODS
qualitative research based on the Transcultural Theory proposed by Madeleine Leininger, performed with quilombola mothers. For data collection, we used the semi-structured interview, conducted from June 2018 to January 2019. Content analysis was guided by the interactive model of Miles and Huberman.
RESULTS
it was revealed that intergenerational cultural myths and customs interfere with breastfeeding practice, and identified the influence of professional nurses on best breastfeeding practices.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
cultural and intergenerational factors favor early weaning and expose the child to illness.
