Enquadramento: É expectável que o pós-parto seja um período de alegria. Todavia,
nem sempre é assim, já que pode ser um período marcado por momentos de tristeza, cansaço
e desânimo. Reconhecendo as vantagens da amamentação para a saúde e bem-estar do recémnascido
e da mãe, acreditamos que esta possa ser preventiva da depressão pós-parto.
Objetivos: Obter a melhor evidência científica para compreender se a amamentação
tem efeito preventivo na depressão pós-parto.
Método: Foi efetuada uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre a relação entre a
amamentação e a depressão pós-parto através das bases de dados: EBSCO host, LILACS,
PubMed, SciELO, Repositórios institucionais e Google Académico. Selecionaram-se quinze
artigos que obedeceram aos critérios de inclusão deste estudo.
Resultados: A maioria dos estudos identifica a amamentação como sendo preventiva
da depressão pós-parto, destacando a importância da amamentação para a saúde mental da
puérpera e consequentemente para a diminuição das hipóteses de desenvolver depressão pósparto.
Cinco artigos identificam-na também como sendo um fator de risco e um estudo não
encontrou uma associação clara entre a amamentação e a depressão pós-parto.
Conclusões: São descritos vários benefícios da amamentação, os quais terão um efeito
preventivo contra a depressão pós-parto. Uma mulher informada e apoiada acerca da
amamentação será capaz de se sentir confiante no seu novo papel. É essencial um
investimento constante por parte da equipa de saúde, iniciado durante o processo do
planeamento do casal para a gravidez, e mantendo-se ao longo da gravidez, parto e pós-parto.

Abstract Background: Post-partum is expected to be a time of joy. However, it is not always so, as it can be a time marked by moments of sadness, fatigue and discouragement. Recognizing the advantages of breastfeeding for health and well-being of both the new-born baby and the mother, we believe that it can be a deterrent of post-partum depression. Objectives: To obtain scientific evidence in order to understand if breastfeeding has a preventive effect against post-partum depression. Method: We made an integrative review of the literature on the relationship between breastfeeding and postpartum depression through databases: EBSCO host, LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, Institutional Repositories and Google Scholar. Fifteen articles that met the inclusion criteria of this study were selected. Results: Most of the studies identified breastfeeding as preventive of postpartum depression, highlighting the importance of breastfeeding for the mental health of postpartum women and consequently reducing the chances of developing postpartum depression. Five articles identify it also as a risk factor and one study did not found a clear association between breastfeeding and postpartum depression. Conclusions: Several benefits of breastfeeding were described with a preventive effect against post-partum depression. A woman informed and supported about breastfeeding will be able to feel confident in her new role. A constant investment by the health team, initiated during the process of family planning for pregnancy, and keeping throughout pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum is essential. Keywords: "Breastfeeding", "postpartum depression", "prevention".
