- Abstract
This paper analyzes the uniformity of the work carried out by the Drops of Milk (Gotas de Leche) of the National Children's Board from a scientific standpoint and directed by the medical community in the case of Santiago (Chile). Based on the history of health, this paper analyzes newspaper sources such as the Almanaque del Patronato Nacional de la Infancia and institutional sources such as memories, regulations, statutes of the National Children's Board and minutes of the First and Second National Congress of Drops of Milk (Gotas de Leche). In an urban space, doctors popularized knowledge of childcare to teach mothers how to take care of their children, and so the medical consultations constituted strong control spaces that were complemented by the strong oversight of the visiting ladies and the women social visitors.
