Childcare drew on the psychology of development to guide parents about moral and spiritual education and through such councils, took part in the production of a certain type of subjectivity considered normal and healthy. Two manuals published during the first half of the 20th century are discussed. They show similarities and differences in the way in which medical discourse conceived child’s development and sought to intervene in its course. In the first moment, children care should ensure both survival and physical health, while in the second moment parents were supposed to ensure child’s happiness and full development of their personality. These differences are linked to socio-political changes that took place in the first half of the 20th century and had a strong impact on the childcare itself, which was reconfigured to promote guidelines adapted to the psycho-social and emotional traits of the child. El artículo indaga las relaciones establecidas entre la medicina infantil y los saberes psicológicos en la Argentina, focalizándose en la divulgación de conocimientos sobre el desarrollo del niño de primera infancia y su crianza. La puericultura se nutrió de la psicología del desarrollo para orientar a los padres acerca de la educación moral y espiritual de sus hijos, al tiempo que, por medio de tales consejos, intervino en la producción de un cierto tipo de subjetividad considerada normal y saludable. Se analizan dos manuales publicados durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, mostrando similitudes y diferencias en la forma como el discurso médico concibió el desarrollo del niño y procuró intervenir en su curso. En el primer momento analizado, el cuidado del niño debía asegurar su supervivencia y salud física, mientras que en la segunda etapa el objetivo de los padres debía ser garantizar la felicidad del niño y el pleno desenvolvimiento de su personalidad. Estas diferencias están ligadas a ciertos cambios sociopolíticos que tuvieron lugar en la primera mitad del siglo XX e impactaron en la concepción de la propia puericultura, que se reconfiguró promoviendo la adaptación de las pautas de crianza a los rasgos emocionales y psico-sociales del niño.
