[Revealing the different aspects of breastfeeding through qualitative research].
The purpose of this study is to understand the issues related to breastfeeding, which have generated the current scene, as well as, new scientific trends in this area. It also indicates current concepts, which emerged from qualitative studies done by nurses having as reference different theoretical models. These studies show that breastfeeding depends on the meanings women attribute to this experience built through their personal history and interactions within the family and community context. In general, their studies elucidate the experience of breastfeeding and provide tools for nursing professionals to develop in their practice with the mother, infant and family during the breastfeeding period.
