This illness often causes a higher healthcare demand in the first year of life, where the incidence is focused on breastfeeding of 3 and 6 months of life. This not only affects the infant, but also has an important impact in the families and in the health field. These infants need several general cares during the illness process and in order to avoid the seriousness of this and improve the health status of these children, the role of nursing is important. For this reason, it is very helpful to know the quality of family life of these children to identify which information have the parents on these cares in order to increase the welfare of this infant.
