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.
