Objective: Formal social support for a group of mothers with children under age one is analyzed in this research. Method: A qualitative, descriptive study of an interpretive nature was conducted in which ten women participated in a focus group that met on seven occasions. Results: A content analysis of the group's dynamics showed formal informative support is the most common and is difficult to separate from emotional support. Through informative support, professionals address issues related to health promotion and disease prevention, and accompany mothers in this capacity. Conclusion: For mothers, the formal support provided by members of the nursing staff is positive and perceived as a reinforcement of their experience with motherhood, and should be framed in a cultural context.
