ABSTRACT:The complex issue of early weaning from breastfeeding suggests making the mother the main character in this phenomenon. Beyond listening to that character, the Critical Communicative Method proposes to equate scientific and popular knowledge. The goal was to identify the transforming aspects and obstacles to early weaning with 12 mothers who weaned early. The study was developed in the interior of São Paulo, in 2010 and 2011, using communicative reporting, communicative discussion group and a questionnaire. Results show young mothers, primipara, married, who finished secondary or technical school and did not have a paid job. The breastfeeding revealed emotions like bonding with the baby, but also feelings of failure and frustration. The equalitarian dialogue revealed that obstacles remain rooted in culture, which need to be discussed with the mothers, and not only judged and condemned, looking for strategies to overcome early weaning through intersubjectivity. DESCRIPTORS: LACTANCIA MATERNA Y DESTETE PRECOZ DEL PUNTO DE VISTA DE LAS MADRES: UN ENFOQUE DIALÓGICORESUMEN: La complejidad del destete precoz sugiere hacer de la madre el personaje principal de este fenómeno. Más que escucharlas, la Metodología Comunicativa Crítica, propone poner en igualdad, el conocimiento científico y el popular, por medio del diálogo igualitario. El objetivo es identificar los aspectos de las transformaciones y los obstáculos para la lactancia materna. Resultados de datos recolectados en 2010 e 2011 en el interior de São Paulo, a través de grupo de discusión, muestran madres jóvenes, primíparas, casadas, de educación secundaria y no trabajadoras. La lactancia materna reveló emociones como vínculo con el bebé, pero también sentimientos de derrota y frustración. El diálogo igualitario reveló que aún existen obstáculos arraigados en la cultura que deben ser dialogados con las madres, y no sólo juzgados y condenados, buscando, por medio de la intersubjetividad, estrategias de superación del destete precoz.DESCRIPTORES: Deteste precoz. Lactancia materna. Período postparto.
