Introduction: Breastfeeding promotes benefits for both the newborn and the mother. Despite the importance of breastfeeding, there are peculiar difficulties for the mother and the baby during the hospitalization period, which can lead to early weaning. Objective: To verify the relationship between breastfeeding and reflexes on orofacial motricity. Methodology: The search for scientific articles was conducted by two independent researchers in the MEDLINE (Pubmed), LILACS, SciELO, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE and BIREME databases, with no restriction on language and location, during the period from 2010 to 2021. For Complementary and avoiding risk bias, a search for gray literature in Google Scholar was performed. The systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Studies that obtained a score ≥ to 12 points according to the protocol for qualitative scoring proposed by Pithon et al. (2015). Results: The duration of breastfeeding was positively associated with the quality of masticatory function. Studies have shown that breastfeeding has a positive impact on chewing and sucking function. Conclusion: By relating the findings of this research with early weaning and its effects on the stomatognathic system, it is evident that natural breastfeeding offers the baby adequate bone and muscle development, thus ensuring the perfect functioning of oral structures and enabling general health due to the interrelationships between the stomatognathic system and the other organs and functions.
