AB  - In Gabon, infant mortality is a vital concern in regard to children’s health. The mortality rate has fluctuated over the years, rising from 32.90% in 2020 to 48% in 2021.The main causes of death are respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, skin and parasitic infections, malnutrition, eye and ear infections. The strategy put in place to regulate this situation is a set of actions carried out for comprehensive and integrated care to support breastfeeding mothers in the growth of their baby. This article shows how the progressive support of mothers regarding child feeding, from the birth of the child up to six months at the health center could be considered as a preventive non-pharmacological intervention. Participant observations were carried out at three health facilities: the Awendjié, Nzeng-Ayong and Peyrie maternal and child health centers.
