Abstract

Literature review aiming to identify the causes of early weaning in Brazil. Sixteen research articles were

selected after search in the Virtual Health Library, Bireme, SciELO, Medline and Lilacs databases. The factors related to

early weaning were: use of pacifier, child’s hospitalization, parents’ educational level, mothers’ depressive symptoms,

grandmothers’ influence, breast complications in puerperium, mothers’ beliefs and values, among others. Early detection

of risk factors to breastfeeding interruption is necessary for guidance and appropriate clinical management as well as the

monitoring by health professionals of mother/son dyad during the period of exclusive breastfeeding.
