摘要：Breastfeeding is extremely important in the first six months of life because it is a nutritionally complete food, with no supplementation necessary. The research aims to verify the influence of early weaning on infants. The articles were searched in electronic databases such as ScientificEletronic Library Online (Scielo) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs). The descriptors "Breastfeeding", "Weaning Precocious", "Infants", "Allergy" and "Disease" were used, totaling 18 articles selected, in which it was pointed out in all studies that the samples of the researches obtained obtained less than 50 % relative to exclusive breastfeeding for the six-month cycle, as recommended by the Ministry of Health. The most recurrent factors for early weaning were the use of pacifiers, bottle feeding and maternal work outside the home, thus causing a possible disease and / or allergy, since there is evidence to affirm that children with breastfeeding less than six months are more likely to develop these changes in their health status. It is concluded that in the studies carried out from 2008 to 2018 it is possible to perceive that early weaning is still quite common in society. Another point observed in the research was the predominance of breastfeeding time, which was identified below the average indicated by the World Health Organization. Given these evidences, breastfeeding is recommended until the age of two, along with the gradual introduction of a complementary feeding from the sixth month of life.
