Sandra Bullock carries son Louis close in Berlin...before stepping out solo for dinner in a slinky frock

She recently revealed she is reticent to do her own film stunts now that she's a mother to three-year-old Louis.

And Sandra Bullock certainly looked like the doting parent on Monday.

The 48-year-old was seen laughing while carrying her tiny tot close as they arrived at her hotel in Berlin, Germany, before the actress stepped out without the little one for dinner later that evening.

The Oscar winner, who is busy promoting her new film The Heat, looked radiant as she grinned while holding Louis, who was adorable in a pageboy cap and collared shirt.

Sandra shielded her eyes with simple black sunglasses and kept her long straight brown hair pulled back with a headband.

The pair were surrounded by bodyguards and fans as they made their way to their hotel in the German capital.

The Heat, directed by Paul Feig, stars Sandra as FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn, who teams up with Melissa McCarthy's Detective Shannon Mullins to hunt down a Russian mobster.

Sandra Bullock said last week that while she loves getting physical in her films, she isn't as tempted to put herself at risk since adopting Louis.

Speaking at the UK gala screening of her new flick in London, she said: 'I insist on doing my stunts all the time.

'But one thing that makes you reconsider doing your shot is having a child. You go, what if I should fall and die on this one? Would that be a smart move?'

Action! Sandra says professional stunt women were brought in to help her and costar Melissa McCarthy on their movie The Heat

Sandra said there are some 'dangerous' stunts in her new action-comedy film, but she and Melissa decided to leave them to the professionals.

She quipped: 'We didn't have crazy stuff to do. There were a couple of dangerous things and Melissa and I were like, "Let the stunt people do it", because the explosives were falling on them.
'We went and had coffee while people risked their lives.'
