ABSTRACT
Objective: to identify the support received by adolescent mothers for the breastfeeding process. Method: descriptive, field study, with a qualitative approach. Nine teenage mothers, aged between ten and 19 years of age, breastfeeding or not, enrolled in a Family Health Strategy, participated. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview and submitted to thematic analysis. Results: knowledge about breastfeeding comes from the observation of women with whom the adolescents lived and from previous experiences. Some have reported its benefits, although succinctly and referred only to the child's health. There was a gap in relation to the guidelines of health professionals in the prenatal and puerperium. Conclusion: the experience of breastfeeding during adolescence can happen in a satisfactory and effective way, since adolescent mothers receive support from family and health professionals.

Objetivo: identificar o apoio recebido por mães adolescentes para o processo de aleitamento materno. Método: estudo descritivo, de campo, com abordagem qualitativa. Participaram nove mães adolescentes, na faixa etária entre os dez e 19 anos, amamentando ou não, cadastradas em uma Estratégia Saúde da Família. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e submetidos à análise temática. Resultados: o conhecimento sobre o aleitamento materno advém da observação de mulheres com quem as adolescentes conviviam e de experiências anteriores. Algumas referiram seus benefícios, embora de forma sucinta e remetidos apenas à saúde da criança. Evidenciou-se uma lacuna em relação às orientações dos profissionais da saúde no pré-natal e puerpério. Conclusão: a experiência de amamentar durante a adolescência pode acontecer de forma satisfatória e eficaz, desde que as mães adolescentes recebem apoio da família e profissionais de saúde.
