title: [Caregiver-newborn interaction and the care relationship].
abstract: The care provided to a newborn is mainly organised around constant paraverbal communication, consisting of signs and contact. Among the many methods of non-verbal communication of the newborn, the expression and touch are essential for the caregiver. The methods of communication used by the infant and the messages they deliver are interpreted by professionals to give them meaning in order to respond as best as possible to the baby's needs.
