Results: Emerging from the analysis were the following categories: benefits of breastfeeding, myths and taboos surrounding breastfeeding; contradictory feelings when breastfeeding; cultural aspects and management of breastfeeding.Conclusion: The results indicate aspects about women’s perceptions regarding breastfeeding, which may contribute to the development of recommendations in order to assist the breast feeder in a perspective that goes beyond the technical, respecting the perceptions, meanings and practices attributed to breastfeeding by women.
