This article describes the first half century life of the Casa de Niños Expósitos (The Foundlings House of Buenos Aires) established in 1779 and remarks the economic and administrative conflicts between secular and religious orders. Tensions between different levels of the Spanish State and Catholic Church for its administration were increased up to the total secularization of the House. Children life conditions and mortality are also analized in the institutional context where wetnurses bred foundlings in each singular home.
