[The psychomotrician, mediator during the carrying process between a mother and her baby]

The carrying in the arms of the young child by his mother is necessary during breastfeeding, for example. But it also occurs during moments of cuddling. These times of bodily proximity, with no other end than the relationship and tenderness, encourage the weaving of emotional bonds between the adult and his baby. If the adjustment between the two partners goes relatively well in most cases, certain dyads present interactive difficulties and the cuddles seem less fluid, less natural. Psychomotricians can then intervene to support the partners in the interaction by playing a mediating role.
