A crosswise study was carried out to determine the performance of some epidemiological variables related to breast feeding during the first year of life of the newborn and the sample was composed by 24 mothers who live in an area of People´s council No. 2 of San Cristobal, gave birth in January, February and March, 2000 and were surveyed one year after their deliveries. . The average length of exclusive breast-feeding was 77 days and of general breast feeding was 137 days. Relative risks were demonstrated for weaning before the fourth month of life in cases using pacifiers and feeding bottles and exposed to stress. Urinary tract infection prevailed, followed by acute diarrhea among sick infants and the greatest protection of the exclusive breast feeding was provided for acute diarrhea.
