Abstract

In this essay I interpret the maternal nursing phenomenon form my own experience, as a nurse and a woman, with de birth of my first son. I revive all experience supported by authors who reinforce the importance of knowing the reality felt by the woman and her family, aiming to offer a more adequate way of caring the woman who breastfeeds. I defend the concept of compassionate care, differing from the assistance by the strong human content, exchange, involvement and solidarity brought to the person under care, clamoring the professional to come out from an aseptic posture and get into a perturbed physical and emotional proximity.Descriptors: Breastfeeding; Compassionate care; Ethics
