Exclusive breastfeeding is of fundamental importance for the neuropsychomotor development of the child, as well as for the maintenance of their health. The aim of the study proposed here was to evaluate the reasons for the abandonment of exclusive breastfeeding in Brazil, described in the scientific literature. This is an integrative literature review, carried out in the databases linked to the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scientific Electronic Libray Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature/Bibliographic Index EspañolenCiencias de la Salud (Lilacs/Ibecs), and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (Medline). The search was conducted with the descriptors in health sciences (DECS): "Breastfeeding" AND "Child nutrition", "Breastfeeding" AND "Child health", "Breastfeeding" OR "Breastfeeding". "Child nutrition" AND "Infant". Given the relevance of breastfeeding for child development, it is understood that from the understanding of possible reasons that lead to low adhering or abandonment of breastfeeding, it is possible to devise strategies for coping with such obstacles. The existence of myths about breastfeeding, the woman's need to return to work, as well as deficient knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding were the main reasons mentioned in the literature for non-smoking. The protective factors of exclusive breastfeeding were mentioned: promotion of breastfeeding during prenatal care, puerperal home visit, as well as family support and greater knowledge of women about the benefits of the practice.
