Objective: to map strategies aimed at promoting and maintaining breastfeeding following nurslings’ hospitalization. Method: a scoping review guided by the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual. The search was carried out in seven databases and in repositories of theses and dissertations. The selection of studies was conducted on a web application by two independent blind reviewers. The data were analyzed descriptively. Results: in total, 1,325 publications were obtained, of which 29 were included in the study. The following were identified as health strategies associated with breastfeeding: education and guidance, support and follow-up, clinical and technical interventions, complementary therapies, technology and innovation, environment and physical conditions, nutrition and hydration, protocol and guidelines. Conclusion: the evidence reinforces that multifaceted strategies are essential post-discharge in order to strengthen self-management and sustain breastfeeding beyond the hospital setting. Primary Health Care can play an important role in care continuity.
