Objective: to describe the frequencies of breastfeeding difficulties during hospitalization in rooming-in and their relationship with eating habits at hospital discharge. Method: cross-sectional study conducted from data from a cohort, carried out between March 2017 and April 2018, through face-to-face interviews and data collection from hospital records of a national reference hospital for high fetal and infant risk. Descriptive statistics were used through absolute and relative frequencies and the chi-square test in all analyses. Results: of 686 mothers and their newborns, 50.6% of the women had difficulties with breastfeeding, with emphasis on: attachment, suction, type of nipple, nipple trauma. Among newborns who were exclusively breastfed at hospital discharge, 51.3% had no breastfeeding difficulties during hospitalization. Conclusion: despite the difficulty presented by half of the studied sample, the need for early support for exclusive breastfeeding is highlighted, even in the hospital environment.
