It is well established that breast milk is the ideal food for infants and that breastfeeding has short‐ and long‐term health benefits for the mother and child. However, there is variation in breastfeeding patterns between populations. Women's work is thought to influence breastfeeding patterns and timing of supplementation and it is often assumed that women in subsistence‐oriented societies can more easily integrate their productive and reproductive activities. This article reports longitudinal data, collected in three rounds ( resguardo [ P r = −0.4, P = 0.01), breastfeeding ( r = −0.29, P = 0.05) and session duration ( r = −0.39, P r = −0.39, P r = −0.50, P r = 0.40, P
