Objectives: analyze the prevalence rate of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to the sixth month of age and what was introduced early in the diet of children. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out with 30 mothers of children. Sociodemographic data, prenatal care and breastfeeding and food introduction data were collected during a home visit. Results: Of mothers' children included, 17 were male (56.7%) and the mothers' age presented a mean of 25.5±5.8 years. Regarding data related to the birth of children, 83.3% had six or more prenatal consultations. Almost two-thirds of children were breastfed within the first hour of life. The early introduction of liquids before six months was considerably higher than the early introduction of solid foods (p<0.05), the main ones being water and other milks. Regarding EBF both at four months of life and at six months, a positive significant association was found with the fact that the child had been breastfed in the first hour of life (p<0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of EBF up to six months of the child's life was only 24%, since there was an early introduction, mainly of liquids. The fact that the child was breastfed in the first hour of life was positive for the maintenance of the EBF.
