dc.description.abstractSeveral studies by UNICEF, OMS and other childhood protection institutions have concluded that the breastfeeding is considered an important strategy for infantile survival. Thus, the motivation for breastfeeding is an important variable which should be considered, given that motivation is the agent propeller of all action. To identify whether maternal affection conditions the motivation for maternal breast feeding. Quantitative, transverse, descriptive-correlational and explanatory study, using a the nonprobabilistic convenience sample (N=235 women). Data is collected by a questionnaire, including the inventory of maternal affection (Mary & Muller, 1994, adapted by Garcia Galvão, 2000) and Motivation for breastfeeding Scale (Nelas et al., 2008). Most of the women have breastfeeding experience and they indicate as reasons for dissatisfaction with breastfeeding experiencing nipple pain. The women reveal positive maternal affection. The mothers with lower education reveal less maternal affection. More affection existed in the women who fell supported by counseling groups for breastfeeding. The women are motivated for breastfeeding and they reveal positive levels of maternal affection.pt_PT
