It is shown, firstly, that the mother played an important role in society, as she was viewed as the axis of the transformation and progress of Colombia, and, secondly, how an attempt was made to transform the practices around breastfeeding through medical discourses.

The conclusion of this investigation affirms that there was an interest on the part of the medical community ink transforming maternity into a public matter under policies of hygiene and health that would help the modernization process of the country. En este artículo se analiza el papel de la maternidad y de la lactancia, a través de los cánones y consejos de los médicos difundidos en los medios de comunicación de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Mostramos, en primer lugar, que la madre jugaba un rol importante en la sociedad, ya que se concibió como el eje de la trasformación y el progreso de Colombia, y, en segundo lugar, cómo a través de los discursos médicos se intentó trasformar las prácticas alrededor de la lactancia. La metodología trazada incluyó el análisis de fuentes primarias (columnas, conferencias y manuales) y secundarias (artículos y libros sobre la temática). La conclusión de esta investigación afirma que existió una preocupación por parte de la comunidad médica en trasformar la maternidad en un asunto público bajo políticas de higiene y salubridad que ayudaran al proceso de modernización del país. Cet article analyse le rôle que la maternité et de l’allaitement avaient dans les canons et les conseils des médecins popularisés par les mass-média dans la première moitié du XXe siècle. On tente de montrer, d’abord, que la mère jouait un rôle important dans la société, car elle était conçue comme l’axe principal de la transformation et du progrès de la Colombie ; puis, on revient sur les manières dont les discours médicaux cherchaient à transformer les pratiques liées à l’allaitement. La méthodologie utilisée consiste à analyser des sources primaires telles que tribunes, conférences et manuels ainsi que des sources secondaires, notamment articles et livres sur le sujet. En guise de conclusion, on propose qu’il a existé un effort chez la communauté médicale pour transformer la maternité en une affaire publique qui, dans le cadre de l’hygiène et la salubrité, serait censée contribuer au processus de modernisation du pays.
