Objective: To describe the strategies performed by contemporary women to maintain breastfeeding after returning to work. Method: It was field research, with a qualitative approach, of exploratory character, of the field research type in a private university in the west side of Rio de Janeiro. Results: 13 women were interviewed, young, married, 15 years of schooling with 1 child. Weakness in the process of adaptation and return to work was observed due to these women's lack of knowledge about breastfeeding, little guidance in prenatal care, poor family support, lack of adequate place for storing and withdrawing milk. Considerations: This study allows knowing the demonstration of the nurses' role in the fundamental role of clarifying possible doubts regarding the lactation period, and exclusive breastfeeding involves social, biological and psychological issues, which must be monitored from the pre- -natal, providing mothers with the development of self-confidence in breastfeeding and in the expertise to overcome difficulties with their return to work.
