This article deals with the dynamic relationship of the mother-baby unity, which experiences all maternal care and experiences multiple sensations offered by the primary maternal concern. The initial moment of satisfactory ambience is distinguished from the others by the almost total abandonment of maternal narcissism due to identification with the baby, thus making a mother good enough. In this work, the perception of the body and bodily experiences are related to the constitution of the psyche at this stage. The body's experiences in this universe of sensations and the emotional development at this stage are based on the approach of tonic dialogue in emotional tensions. Winnicott's theory that grasps maternal care whenever the baby is perceptually grasped, whether in the auditory or visual perceptual capacity, we have there, an experience of unity, with an almost absolute dependence of the baby on the mother's care. These cares are essential conditions for tonic states of tension and relaxation, in alternating moments of need and satisfaction. The baby's states of excitement and tranquility are expressed by tonic tension and this type of body language is especially experienced by the infant during motherhood, being a facilitator of the personalization of this subject that already exists in the world.
