BACKGROUND: Breast milk is an essential nutrient for the child because of its benefits. Its abandonment generates concern about negative effects on maternal and child health. OBJETIVE: To determine the prevalence of breastfeeding and associated factors in women of Totoracocha Parish, Cuenca 2020. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional analytical study including 310 mothers of children from 0 to 24 months of age, in which prevalence of breastfeeding (BF), its types, sociodemographic factors, knowledge about BF, use of substitutes, functionality, and family structure were determined. The SPSS.25 program was used; qualitative variables were expressed in frequencies and percentages and for the association, the relative risk was obtained. RESULTS: Prevalence of BF was 82.25%, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) 62.58%, partial 6.13% and artificial 31.29%. The abandonment of EBF was associated with higher education RR1.36, 95%CI:1.02-1.81, p=0.035 and non-ideal initiation of BF RR1.34, 95%CI:1.00-1.78, p=0.044. Meanwhile, work RR1.70, 95%CI: 1.02-2.84, p=0.035, low level of knowledge RR1.67, 95%CI:1.04-2.69, p=0.033, and breastfeeding RR6.23, 95%CI:2.00- 19.41, p=0.0001 to the abandonment of continuous breastfeeding. The use of breast milk substitutes was 73.5%, by choice, hypogalactia and by recommendation of a health professional. The results cannot be extrapolated, as they were performed in the health unit.
