Abstract: Breastfeeding is recognized as a determining practice in the promotion of women’s and children’s health. To protect it is to act in guaranteeing Food and Nutrition Security. The aim of this study is to describe the process of creating educational material to promote breastfeeding in the hospital environment. This is a qualitative study, involving semi-structured interviews with 13 women assisted in a public maternity hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro, followed by the development and evaluation of the resource. The material was created based on principles of food and nutrition education, on the women’s narratives and on the comprehension of breastfeeding as a human right. It was concluded that the participation of those who breastfeed in the preparation of the material provided the opportunity for protagonism and the representation of concrete experiences about this practice.
