Arrêt Mercredi (2010) provides guidance for nourrissants. For a nourrisson, habitual residence depends primarily on whose residence?

For a nourrissant, the child’s habitual residence is centered on where the child normally lives, which for an infant is tied to the primary caregiver. Arrêt Mercredi (2010) clarifies that the infant’s everyday life centers in the mother’s home, since she is typically the primary caregiver responsible for daily care and feeding. Therefore, the infant’s habitual residence is determined primarily by the mother’s residence. The father’s residence or the guardian’s residence only matters if the caregiving arrangement changes so that someone else becomes the primary caregiver. The state of origin does not determine habitual residence in this context.
