Objectives: to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices about breastfeeding among pregnant women assisted during prenatal care. Method: a quantitative cross-sectional study of the CAP type, with 110 pregnant women attended during prenatal care in a Brazilian municipality, through a form analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, through frequencies and Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests, with significance ≤0, 05. Results: There was an association between age group with knowledge (p=0.003), attitude (p<0.0001) and practice (p=0.015). Women over 26 years of age are 11% (OR=0.119[0.025-0.561]) more likely to have adequate knowledge and non-white women have a 90% (OR=0.905[0.848-0.966]) chance of the same outcome. Age emerged as a protective factor in 18% (OR=0.187[0.071-0.490]) for attitude and 29% (OR=0.291[0.105-0.806]) for practice. Parity was associated with practice (p=0.040). Conclusion: more mature women have satisfactory knowledge, attitude and practice. Nipple trauma, absence of a support network, abandonment without a defined reason and pain are the main reasons for early weaning.
