In Phase 1, an integrative review and focus group were carried out to select the content. In Phase 2, the illustrations were created. Phase 3 was the development of the first version of the material. In Phase 4, the content was validated by 26 specialists. In Phase 5, fifteen puerperal women validated the appearance of the second version of the booklet. Results: content and appearance validities obtained validity indexes of 0.80 and 0.96, respectively; and agreement percentage of 94.75% and 100.0%, respectively.
