Summary

About 40% of children under six months are breastfed. However, in adolescent mothers there are greater barriers to making the decision to breastfeed. Counseling on breastfeeding could be a helpful intervention in sustaining this practice. This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial type study, with a control group that will receive routine care, and an intervention group that will additionally receive "Counseling: breastfeeding" through a maternity preparation course, both conducted by trained nurses. 59 pregnant women will be included in each group that attend the prenatal control program, for a total of 118 users. The level of knowledge about breastfeeding, the rate of cessation of breastfeeding and the rate of cessation will be evaluated in three measurements during follow-up.
