The practice of Exclusive Breastfeeding from birth to the sixth month of the child's life has been promoted as such since the late 1970s. However, inadequate complementary feeding practices can still be found. Therefore, the objective of this study is to describe breastfeeding practices with substitutes in infants under 6 months of age attended at Essalud Iquitos during 2019. For this, a descriptive study was carried out. Concluding that 13% of the mothers report having given some type of artificial milk to the infant during the postpartum period, 13% of the participants agreed to have requested help with some type of milk for their baby and 3% of the mothers agreed to have received recommendations of some type of formula at the time of discharge from the Hospital, 6% of the participants accepted having requested the recommendation of some formula to use when leaving the Hospital. 38% of the mothers reported having offered some type of artificial milk to the newborn during the first and second week, of them 37% reported having done it because their breasts were not full, most of them (22%) that 22% of them offered artificial milk to their baby that it was recommended in the pharmacy, 12% in the hospital and 4% reported that they gave their baby artificial milk on the recommendation of other people. Regarding the use of formulas during the first 6 months, it was found that 13% of the participants reported that they continue to offer their baby the same artificial milk during this period, 25% report giving them another type of milk and 62% report that their baby just continues to receive breast milk. 1% report having offered the child some type of non-formula milk such as evaporated milk or another type of powdered milk. An increase in the use of artificial milk from 13% to 38% was observed during the first 2 weeks of the baby's life.
