This article aims to analyze the association between guidance on breastfeeding in primary health care and exclusive breastfeeding. It involved a cross-sectional study conducted in 2013 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by means of interviews with 429 mothers of infants below six months of age in primary care units. We estimated adjusted prevalence ratios by Poisson regression. In the final model, the variables associated with the outcome (p ≤ 0.05) were retained. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 50.1%. In multivariate analysis, guidance on exclusive breastfeeding in primary care was directly associated with the outcome (PR = 1.32). Maternal income < 1 minimum wage (PR = 0.77), previous breastfeeding experience for less than 6 months (PR = 0.73), not living with a partner (PR = 0.76), non-exclusive breastfeeding at discharge (PR = 0.78), alcohol consumption (OR = 0.57), guidance on pumping breast milk (PR = 0.53), pacifier use (PR = 0, 74) and baby's age in months (PR = 0.78) were associated inversely with the outcome. Guidance on exclusive breastfeeding favored it, while inadequate guidance and practices were associated with a lower prevalence of the outcome.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 May 2018.
All research outputs
#7,722,737
of 28,815,917 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#524
of 2,184 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#112,134
of 349,694 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#17
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,815,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,184 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,694 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
