Present yourself baby and you in a few words.
I am 29 years old and I am the father of Julia who is now 13 months old. I am a carpenter, but also the first male babywearing instructor in Wallonia.
Why did you choose the BLW ?
My wife and I discovered BLW while we were expecting Julia and we loved the idea that she could discover the food for herself.
What scared you?
I was fairly calm, but my wife was initially a little worried about suffocation. I took a day of pediatric first aid training and we were all reassured!
Has the BLW Bébé platform helped you, if so, in what?
The platform helped us find great recipes adapted to Julia's fine motor skills stage. We also found answers to all the practical questions we had (equipment, etc.)
When did Baby started to really eat more elaborate recipes?
From the second week onwards, I made her recipes from the platform and she enjoyed them.
Baby's favorite recipe?
Without a doubt: spinach pancakes! A huge and enduring success. She's still just as big a fan today.
What does baby don't like?
Contrary to popular belief, Julia hates carrots. We've tried offering them to her in all forms, but so far it's been a failure.
A advice for parents who wish to get started?
To be well-informed and to let go.
A nice or less nice anecdote to tell?
One day we cooked several recipes in advance for Julia throughout the afternoon in order to have reserves in the freezer.
All the dishes were cooling on the worktop while waiting to be put in the fridge.
Julia wakes up from her nap and we go to get her from her room… meanwhile, Plume, our dog, has benefited from our culinary talents… she ate absolutely everything…
We were devastated and she was sick for 48 hours
