<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>On determining the importance of family resources on motivation for breastfeeding, we should invest a little more in clarifying people with regard to the benefits of breastfeeding through education for health campaigns at the level of households as well as promoting support groups consisting of motivated mothers for whom breastfeeding was rewarding and who wish to share their experience. We propose the creation of a physical space with support from nurses who are breastfeeding counselors within the midwifery service, which mothers with difficulties in breastfeeding after discharge, can call upon whenever they deem necessary during the day, and until the difficulties disappear. Several studies show that ongoing monitoring is essential to reduce early weaning. The gains to be had in public health will certainly be greater than the expenditure. </p>
