Objective: to understand the meanings of the breastfeeding experience of nursing mothers during and after social isolation in the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: qualitative study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee, carried out between August and November 2021, through semi-structured interviews in a virtual environment, with 14 women who were breastfeeding or who breastfed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The content of the recorded data was processed using Iramuteq® software and discussed in the light of Social Representation Theory and Social Network Theory. Results: the meanings attributed by the participants to breastfeeding referred to its protective, nutritional and affective value. The experience of breastfeeding has been influenced by the pandemic, but the mothers expressed the benefits of a closer mother-child relationship. Conclusion: breastfeeding is affected by historical, social, cultural and psycho-emotional contexts, which have been influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. This knowledge helps nurses to plan care and health education.
