Abstract

The article focuses on the increasing demand of Paediatric services in Barberà del Vallès. First of all, changes in the way in which parents learn about child care are analysed. The conclusion is that parents are not as competent as before regarding child care due to the decreasing birthrate and changes in gender socialization. Secondly, from the point of view of the Paediatricians, what is evident is the fact that child care has been expropriated by Paediatricians. What is more, the feminization of Paediatrics and the easy accessibility of the health service support this hypothesis. Finally, the possible effects of these changes in the branch of Paediactrics in the health service, and in the process of child care are being considered.
