The sample consisted of 61 mother-infant dyads evaluated three times during breastfeeding by trained nurses who applied the Nursing Outcomes Classification scales. Statistical analysis was performed using Generalized Estimating Equation Models. <strong>Results:</strong> most indicators of the two Nursing Outcomes studied presented a similar frequency of scores of 4 and 5. It was observed that in most indicators, there were clinical changes throughout the evaluations over time; however, the indicators related to the mother presented a higher risk of scoring 4 and 5 on the Likert scale. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> the Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes and indicators included successfully evaluated the clinical evolution of mother-infant dyads and proved to be applicable for use in Neonatal Intensive Unit Care. <strong>Contributions to practice:</strong> nurses can use the indicators to assess the quality of the proposed interventions.</p> ER -
