Aleitamento materno na primeira hora de vida no Brasil: uma revisão sistemática

OBJECTIVE: to identify the prevalence of breastfeeding in the first hour of life in Brazil. METHOD: searches were carried out from August to September 2019 in the Scielo and Medline databases, using the descriptors' breastfeeding :· postpartum prevalence :· newborn 'and cross-sectional studies' in search of studies carried out in Brazil from 2010 to 2019. The recommendations of the Prisma method were used and the data were collected using a structured form and independently evaluated by two authors. RESULTS: 23 studies were included in this research, of which 15 had a prevalence of more than 50% of breastfeeding in the first hour of life. Most of the studies were carried out in the Southeast and Northeast regions of the country. CONCLUSION: Studies are proposed that involve both the prevalence of breastfeeding in the first hour of life and the variables that influence this practice, especially in the North, Midwest and South regions of Brazil.
