This is a literature and data were collected by consulting the Virtual Health Library - VHL/BIREME, the databases of data from Latin - American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences (LILACS), the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Nursing Database (BDENF). The research objective was to identify and analyze published articles in national journals available online in its entirety and, in the period 2000 to 2010, and verify the existing scientific literature on the subject. We used the terms breastfeeding X nurse X Nursing as descriptors for the survey data, which were subjected to thematic analysis of Minayo. The analysis indicated that these productions has focused the attention of health professionals about breastfeeding practices and promotion of breastfeeding, which are influenced by different socio-cultural factors. Thus, there is the importance of investing in the training of health professionals, the need for new care models to understand the complexity and multiplicity of factors involved in promoting and supporting breastfeeding. It is hoped that such actions produce changes in scenarios and practices of health care with a view to a more ethical, humane and devoted to the promotion of breastfeeding as a right of citizenship.
