• Maternal Breastfeeding 7-15 Days After Discharge

  Maternal breastfeeding means: exclusive maternal breastfeeding, predominant maternal breastfeeding (maternal milk associated to other liquid, except formula) and continuous maternal breastfeeding (maternal milk associate to other food, including formula).

  At the first follow-up visit (7-15 days after discharge)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Maternal Breastfeeding at 30 Days After Discharge

  At 30 days after the infant hospital discharge

• Maternal Breastfeeding at 60 Days After Discharge

  At 60 days after the infant hospital discharge
