Abstract: The repercussions of the educational approach in newborns who, after birth, needed specialized care, publications are less frequent, showing significant methodological differences, which limits the production of recommendations to favor better outcomes in this population. Few clinical trials are performed, and this is the type of study that manages to provide evidence of the effect of interventions on the most varied outcomes. The objective of this paper was to describe the research protocol that carried out individualized guidelines on breastfeeding, aimed at mothers of newborns hospitalized in a conventional intermediate care unit, through a clinical trial to evaluate outcomes during hospitalization and after follow-up until the sixth month of life. Methods : The present study refers to the registration of a research protocol such as a randomized controlled clinical trial, carried out in two stages. The objective of the first stage of the study was to evaluate the impact of individual guidelines on breastfeeding on the attitude of breastfeeding during the hospital stay of puerperal women with newborns who required admission to a specialized care unit at birth. The objective of the second stage was to follow-up the newborns who completed the first stage of the study until they were six months old, in order to evaluate the long-term impact of the systematized individual guidelines on breastfeeding given on admission to the study.Conclusions: In the current study, unlike existing studies, follow-up after discharge took place not only to check the frequency of any provision of breast milk, or exclusive use of breast milk, but also to correlate variables that may act as obstacles to the continuity of the practice of breastfeeding. This evaluation is a differential of the research, whose results will help in the follow-up of this patient profile.
