Description
Summary:Objective: To reflect on the impact of Brazilian Breastfeeding Network and the e Brazilian Breastfeeding and Feeding Strategy on breastfeeding rates in Brazil. Method: this is a narrative review of the literature developed through the discussion of literature on the objective of this reflection. Results: eight studies were found that answered the study's guiding question, six of which assessed the impact of Brazilian Breastfeeding Network and two of the Brazilian Breastfeeding and Feeding Strategy on breastfeeding rates. Of the total, six were articles, a research report and a dissertation. Conclusion: the findings were apparently contradictory: while some studies showed an improvement in breastfeeding rates, others did not find an increase in the prevalence in units that joined the Brazilian Breastfeeding Network, now called Brazilian Breastfeeding and Feeding Strategy.
