Objectives: To describe nursing performance related to stimulation of non-nutritive sucking in neonates and infants unable to be breastfeed, and to identify, in nursing reviews, results related to this therapy. Methodology: It is a literature review, with descriptive approach, using as databases Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Ovid Technologies. Results: As consequences of the non-nutritive sucking in neonates, are mentioned: high consumption as well as ingestion of the prescribed diet in a small period of time; high weight gain; earlier hospital discharge; improving consciousness state during feeding; sleep induction, crying time reduction and increase in pain threshold. Conclusion: We did not find nursing articles referring to non-nutritive sucking stimulation therapy in neonates and infants which are unable to be breastfeed, and also, the orofacial benefits of this practice. The results were based on the small literature related to the theme.
