INTRODUCTION: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is the primordial nutrition of the infant. The type of delivery can impact knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of EBF. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between type of delivery and KAP of EBF in fertile women with children under 6 months of age in a hospital in Peru. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This analytical cross-sectional study consisted of 126 women with a history of vaginal delivery (VD) and cesarean delivery (CD) who attended to four outpatient offices of the hospital. The instrument consisted of an extract from the National Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) and an extract from the KAP Manual related to EBF. RESULTS: Between the women, 61.9% had CD. No significant relationship was found between type of delivery with knowledge (p = 0.574), attitudes (p = 0.068) and practices (p = 0.574) of EBF. Mothers from 31 to 49 years old (58.8%, p = 0.032), married (63.6%, p = 0.028) and university students (49.3%, p = 0.026) had a higher level of knowledge about EBF. Most of the newborns received EBF (71.2%, p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences in KAP according to type of delivery; this could be due to a good health strategy in the hospital postnatal care. Maternal age, educational level and marital status are related to the level of knowledge of EBF. In addition, the age of the infant is related to the exclusive practices of breastfeeding.
