Abstract
Objective: To discuss, through an integrative review, the impacts of Early Weaning and the importance of nursing professionals for the success of breastfeeding. Methods: This is an integrative literature review research, which used scientific articles from 2011 to 2021, found in the SCIELO, LILACS, Acervo+ Index Base, Academic Google and PubMed databases. Results: 14 articles were selected from which 3 categories emerged: The Impacts Generated by Early Weaning; The Benefits of Breastfeeding; The importance of Nursing Actions for the success of Exclusive Breastfeeding. These categories show that early weaning can be influenced by a number of factors, such as offering other types of food before the baby is six months old. Final considerations: Breast milk is the best food to be provided to children from birth, until they are six months old, as it is complete and ready, at the ideal temperature, it has a low cost, and should be supplemented with other types of food only after six months.
