Society has an obligation to offer parents support of various types, an example of such a support is ?parent support?. The purpose of this study has been to describe midwives and child health care nurses conceptions of the need for early parent support. The definition of early parent support in this study is the first two weeks after delivery. Since the 1970:ies the Swedish delivery and ?BB? care has changed in that the time in hospital care after delivery has been reduced from in average six days, till an average of two days. This change created new demands for the information given to new parents by the child health care nurse. The author used a qualitative content analysis and carried out six interviews. The informants were midwives and child health care nurse from different clinics. The result show that today?s information society have resulted in parents being very well informed, and the informants see it as part of their parent support means helping parents to find valid information in the flow of information available. This confirms research which show that much of the information parents gather themselves on the internet is incorrect. The need for experienced personal available for advice and support has also increased with reduced time spent at the hospital. However, research show that mothers value the advice available from their mothers just as high as that given by healthcare personal. The study also shows that those involved in parent support needs to be open to differences between parents.
