The Nutritional Care Program (NCP) of Rio Verde-GO was created in 2009, supported by the Municipal Health Fund, to attend children diagnosed with lactose intolerance, allergy to cow’s milk protein, soy or multiple proteins, as well as with inborn metabolism errors and malnutrition. This report aims to present the experience of this program in stimulating breastfeeding through qualified care and guidance on relactation. Twenty-eight mothers who received guidelines for resuming breastfeeding through the NAP were interviewed by telephone. Among the respondents, 78.6 % (n=22) used the technique, 21.4 % (n=6) did not try. Among mothers who used the technique, 68.2 % (n=15) did not resume breastfeeding. Of these, 86.7 % (n=13) argued that the baby rejected the breast and 13.3 % (n=2) produced no breast milk. Concerning the return of lactation, 31.8 % (n=7) of the mothers who used the technique succeeded. The success of the technique might be extended through a network of support and encouragement to breastfeeding in the city which will increase the use of successful and low-cost practices, which needs to be better disseminated to the public and healthcare professionals.
