Abstract
Introduction: the absence of breastfeeding or its early interruption (before 6 months) and the
introduction of other foods in the child's diet during this period are frequent, with important
consequences for the baby's health, such as exposure to infectious agents, contact with foreign
proteins, impaired digestion and assimilation of nutritional elements, among others.
Objectives: the objective was to identify the factors that contribute to early weaning.
Methodology: this was an integrative literature review. Articles on the topic that were
published in Portuguese and English during the period from 2016 to 2021, which were made
available online and free of charge, were included. Results: The main weaning factors: working
outside the home, beliefs and taboos about breast milk, cracked nipples, low income and low
education of the mother, age of the mother, and babies who were born with health problems
and needed hospitalization in NICUs. Final considerations: early weaning is socio-culturally
constituted and for a woman to maintain exclusive breastfeeding, she needs support from her
family, health professionals, society and also the government.
