Objectives: To describe the development and validation of a breastfeeding manual (BM) for puerperal women, in order to promote breastfeeding. Methodology: In this methodological study, the manual was constructed from nationally and internationally recognized scientific documents and, subsequently, validated by different evaluators. Results: The manual was divided into 10 domains that have textual content in dialogue with the mother - questions and answers - and illustrations of the text. It was validated by 13 content evaluators, technicians and the area of design and marketing -specialists - and by 31 evaluators representing the target audience - women in puerperium period. The content validation by the different professionals was carried out through an electronic questionnaire and, in the case of women in puerperium period, by printed questionnaires, from March to June 2018. The content validity index was calculated to guarantee the quality of the material produced, and it reached satisfactory values, as follows: index of content validity of content evaluators - 0.96; technical - 0.90; design and marketing - 0.94; and women in puerperal period - 0.96. Conclusion: The manual developed in this research is an adequate resource for breastfeeding counseling and borne out by the excellent content validity index of the different evaluators.
