Abstract

Objective: to identify scientific evidence related to the interruption of exclusive breastfeeding among children younger than six months in Primary Health Care. Method: Integrative review of the literature conducted in lilacs, scopus and pubmed®, using the descriptors controlled in Portuguese: "Breastfeeding", "Early Weaning", "Primary Health Care", in the time frame from 2014 to 2021 using the Boolean operator "AND". Results: 11 complete studies were selected for interpretative analysis that allowed the identification of the main factors that led to early weaning: unknowledge of women, perception of women that they have weak/insufficient milk and maternal work outside the home. Conclusion: it is essential that the health team remains up-to-date and able to promote, support and encourage exclusive breastfeeding by reducing early weaning rates.
