Abstract

Objective: To analyze in the scientific literature the guidelines and ways of offering milk to the newborn that are addressed in educational practices on breastfeeding. Methods: systematic review carried out in the LILACS, BDENF, MedLine, SciELO, EMBASE and CAPES theses and dissertations databases. Data was collected in September 2021 and updated in July 2024. Results: the most frequent guidelines were the benefits of breast milk, latch-on and position, milking and returning to work, and only one study presented the cup technique for offering milk. Conclusion: information about ways to offer milk is not yet present in educational actions, making it essential to invest in professional training so that we have information that meets women's desires, promoting and protecting breastfeeding through the safe supply of milk, in situations necessary, which do not contribute to early weaning
