They reorganize themselves in order to optimize time, streamline domestic activities, teach family members, and navigate care spaces. They experience the routine organizing the home, taking care of the children and, specifically, the child with syndrome, referring to: bedtime; giving a shower; changing diapers; feeding; playing; and, stimulating, actions mediated by intense crying and environmental preparation.<br />Conclusion: The experiences are unique and exceptional, conforming the social representation of the mothers as a group, the "mothers of micro", an aspect that differs from other experiences.
