Introduction: The monitoring of women and guidance on the benefits of breast milk
are of paramount importance for the mother to choose to breastfeed. It is necessary
that the approach is effective and gradual so that she feels pleasure and well-being
when practicing the act of breastfeeding. This activity is vulnerable to interference from
multiple factors that encompass maternal principles, especially with regard to the
conduct of each woman in these circumstances. Maternal insecurity was one of the
factors that puerperal women reported presenting and influencing early weaning, since
this insecurity may be related to the production of breast milk. Therefore, the present
research aimed to describe which emotional aspects were reported by women who
breastfed during the pandemic period in two municipalities in the metropolitan region
of Belém. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study with the
application of an online questionnaire via Google forms. Conclusion: The research
results reflect on the importance of investigating factors related to the emotional aspect
of women during pregnancy and postpartum periods, in order to prevent and treat
these changes or disorders, as they influence maternal health and consequently in the
practice of breastfeeding. However, it is important that new research be developed to
help health professionals in encouraging this practice that saves so many lives.
