This study shows the contributions of a tool for the alertness of the psycho-emotional emotional development that could be integrated in the pediatrician practice in the First Level, in order to promote a more integrated approach of infant´s health. Early detection of withdrawal indicators was done with ADBB scale (Guedeney, 2001/2007) during regular pediatric consultation to 67 babies between 2 and 14 months, who were video-taped in four pediatric visits during 2010 in two Public Health Centers. Two parallel ways were done. One pediatrician trained in ADBB since the beginning of the study assessed 30 babies and in the cases which she detected withdrawal, she did interventions oriented to promote in the parents new resources in the early relationship. The others 37 babies were assisted in their regular pediatric visits in the traditional way by nine pediatricians, who were trained in ADBB and in the implementation of interventions after the second video-taped consultation. Results: in the group of 37 infants, 40% presented withdrawal in the 1st. assessment, 57% in the 2nd, and in the 3rd one, which was done after the training, the percentage of withdrawal decrease to 13%. In the parallel group of 30 infants the percentages were: 7% in the 1st. assessment, 13% in the 2nd, 10% in the 3rd, and 3% in the 4th one. Conclusion: an interdisciplinary approach that includes the early emotional development and ADBB scale in the regular well-baby consultation offers new tools for early detection and for timely interventions from the first level of care, increasing the quality of the care.
