This study aimed to verify the relation between the period of hospitalization of new borns (NB) admitted into a neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) of a federal public hospital and the frequency of distribution of breast milk (BM) offered in their daily diet. This is a transversal study with secondary data that evaluated 246 NBs admitted in the neonatal ICU between March and June of 2016. Statistical tests were performed using Microsoft® Excel 2010 and SPSS version 18.0®. During this period, 63% of the NBs received oral BM, whereas a lower rate of BM intake was related to a longer hospitalization.(p<0.001). However, among the babies who received BM through enteral tube, there was a significant correlation between hospitalization period and frequency of distribution of BM (p<0.001). These results corroborate the diet´s importance of BM plus infant formula to reduce length of stay.
