Objective: to evaluate the performance of nursing mothers and newborns, during breastfeeding, in the neonatal period and to identify the difficulties for the practice of breastfeeding/breastfeeding. Method: longitudinal, comparative study, carried out in a regional hospital, in Piauí, Brazil. Fortynine nursing mothers participated, approached on the first and 28th day of life of their newborns. The collection took place between September 2018 and February 2019, with a characterization questionnaire and application of the LATCH - Scoring System instrument (Latch, Audible swallowing, Type of nipple, Comfort, Hold). For analysis, descriptive statistics and multiple association tests were used. Results: It was found that in the first assessment, 32.7% of the nursing mothers and newborns needed support for adequacy of the breastfeeding process, while in the second, only 2%. Conclusion: It was evidenced that early interventions aimed at promoting and maintaining breastfeeding should be implemented by nurses, beginning in the prenatal period and indispensable in the first puerperal week, especially those related to breastfeeding technique.
