A descriptive analysis of the data was carried out, comparing the variables of interest through the Analysis tests of Variance, Brown-Forsythe and Tukey. Results: there was statistical significance between the groups that practiced different types of breastfeeding in the lubrication domain vaginal (p=0.015), and the breastfeeding mothers mixed or partial maternal presented higher scores for this domain (3.8).
