Hilary Wilson Oct 1, 2010:
just happen to be a paediatric physio:) !
janisct (asker) Oct 1, 2010:
Hilary you have definitely got the right idea here - many thanks!
Hilary Wilson Oct 1, 2010:
rassemblement What rassemblement means here is that the child is kept in a flexed position so that s/he is able to maintain a more foetal position. This in turn facilitates bringing hands to mouth, etc... and avoids orthopaedic complications.

Liz, indeed restraining would be worrying!

Swaddling? A method often used to give the baby a secure feeling, similar to being in the womb http://www.babycenter.com/0_swaddling-your-baby_125.bc//Here... one that mentions "positioning aids." http://baby.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Preemie_Swaddling_Wrap
janisct (asker) Oct 1, 2010:
re containing for 'contention': here I think it means containing its movements, which surely is another way of saying restraining it?
liz askew Oct 1, 2010:
for "rassemblement" I can only think of "keeping the baby snug" at the moment:)
liz askew Oct 1, 2010:
Hi, wouldn't "contention" = contain, rather than "restrain".

French term (edited): le soutien, la contention et le rassemblement du bebe

rassemblement = baby curling up

Hello,

That would be my guess for "rassemblement".

se rassembler = gathering itself together (curling up?)

Il faut alors aider l'enfant à se rassembler. Le bébé serre les poings et ramène ses mains sur sa poitrine : l'adulte peut accompagner et faciliter ce ...

supporting, restraining and keping the baby safe and secure

My suggestion.

Or to fit in with your sentence:

The cocoon must support, restrain and keep the baby safe and secure.

My answer should read:

supporting, restraining and keeping the baby safe and secure

@ Liz:

Yes, believe it or not, you can restrain a baby. Google it.

"restraining a baby" = 1,110 results
"restrain a baby" = 1,780 results

All of these pages cannot be wrong, I am sure of it.

@ janisct:

IMO, there is nothing wrong whatsoever with saying "restraining a baby".

IMO, "restraining a baby" means protecting a baby from harm and making sure that it is safe and secure at all times.

neutral liz askew : restraining a baby??Toddlers perhaps with reins, but restraining a baby, sounds odd to me:)
