O ciberativismo e as redes virtuais no apoio a amamentação

Abstract

The pregnancy-puerperal cycle is a period not a woman experienced in major physical and psychosocial transformations. Such changes, along with the experiences inherent to this period, bring a great deal of vulnerability to a woman. Breastfeeding is one of the ways of this phase and its success is not limited to being done in the same way, but also the woman's interest in breastfeeding and the support she receives. Support networks, in their various forms, are accurate to this period, specifically, to breastfeeding. In contemporary times, we have seen an increase in millennial questions about maternity issues, and as a result of the phenomenon, control networks are accompanied by visibility and serving as information propagators. Given this reality, the present study seeks to observe cyber-activism and support networks may be serving as support agents for breastfeeding. A bibliographic narrative review has been carried out in which the data collection was done from classic books, theses and virtual portals, especially Scielo and Google Scholar. After a search it was evidenced a small hypothesis of studies that contemplated, what made us increase the space for new researches.
