Indicadores de Lactancia Materna obtenidos en el momento de la vacunación en cuatro Centros de Salud Familiar de la zona Sur de Santiago

Resumen

Even considering the small size of the sample studied, exclusive BF prevalence obtained is surprisingly lower than official reported data. That difference might be explained by: (a) children brought to vaccinations are roughly two fold the number brought to well-child clinics and, (b) potential bias in official data obtained by staff in charge of promotion and education on BF practices, which could distort the results. Further studies are needed to improve the methodology for collecting and analysis BF data.
