Amamentação: um "sentir com"

Abstract

Through a look at man as a bio-psycho-cultural being, this study aims to see the experience of breastfeeding in a broad, seeking to approximate its complexity and sensitivity. In this sense, such experience will be treated as a possibility for the mother to make the transition, still through her body, gradually, from the baby that was inside her out of her. Thus, based on the thinking of the psychoanalyst Winnicott, a relationship is established between his concept of transitional phenomenon and breastfeeding, thinking about them here through a focus on the mother.
