Introduction: breast milk is extremely important for the baby's development and protection against allergic diseases, malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, digestive diseases, obesity, caries, among others, because its composition contains protein, lipid, carbohydrate. General Objective: to analyze the importance of breastfeeding in the baby's development, the benefits for the mother's health and the reasons for early weaning. Methodology: To carry out this study, we opted for a research in the modality of integrative literature review. The integrative review determines the current knowledge on a specific topic, as it is conducted in order to identify, analyze and synthesize results of independent studies on the same subject. Results and Discussion: Breastfeeding is one of the most important steps in a woman's reproductive process and its practice offers benefits for both the mother and the newborn. Final Considerations: Breastfeeding is a food of paramount importance for the survival of the infant, as it is the only one that offers adequate nutrients, in which no other industrialized milk can be found.
