    Breastfeeding is essential for the growth of maxillofacial structures in newborns, while non-nutritive sucking habits hinder proper harmonic oral development, favoring the presence of malocclusions. Additionally, their early onset affects the duration and frequency of breastfeeding. Objective: To determine the association between types of breastfeeding and non-nutritive sucking habits in children aged 3 to 6 years with dental malocclusion. Methodology: This was a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, prospective study. The sample consisted of 203 children aged 3 to 6 years with dental malocclusion. Data collection was performed using the instrument by Hidalgo M. (2015), and intraoral clinical examinations were conducted. Results: A statistically significant association was found between types of breastfeeding and digital sucking and object sucking habits (p=0.002, p=0.012, respectively). No significant association was observed for pacifier sucking and lip sucking habits (p=0.065, p=0.211, respectively). Exclusive breastfeeding prevalence was 56%, and mixed breastfeeding 44%. The most prevalent breastfeeding duration was two years, accounting for 42%. The most common type of malocclusion was anterior deep bite (46.3%), followed by anterior open bite (33.9%). Conclusion: Types of breastfeeding were associated with digital and object sucking habits, but no association was found with lip sucking or pacifier sucking habits.
