Objective: To analyze the scientific production related to relactation as a breastfeeding intervention in women who were deprived of breastfeeding their children. Method: Integrative Literature review. Data collection performed between March and April 2020 in the databases Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, Mediclatina and MEDLINE, articles published between 2015 and 2020. Results: After content analyze of the five select articles, three themes emerged from the analysis of the articles: factors that compromise lactation; factors that contribute to relactation success and difficulties in relactation process. If woman has the desire to breastfeed it is possible to increase milk production through a relactation process. The frequent breast stimulation and the baby's suction, the mother's motivation and the family and nurses' support are essential for the success of this practice, which women consider important, but hard to accomplish. Conclusion: Relactation is an intervention, not free from difficulties, but effective in promoting breastfeeding in women who have been deprived of breastfeeding their children. It is achievable if women are motivated and if support from the family and nurses is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
