Introduce yourself and your baby in a few words:

My name is Justine, I'm 26 years old, and I'm the mother of my sweet 10-month-old daughter, Olivia. She's a little gourmand who loves to eat! After a difficult first few months due to reflux, we discovered that Olivia was allergic to cow's milk protein. We then adapted her diet, and since then, everything has been much better! These challenging months have brought us very close and inseparable. Before she was born, we wanted to support her in life as best we could, but after this ordeal, we wanted even more to give her the best possible start in life, through nurturing parenting and by introducing her to the world in the gentlest way possible.

Why did you choose the BLW ?

It's important for her dad and me to provide Olivia with the best in terms of nutrition and food, but also to allow her to eat independently, all while making mealtimes a friendly moment of sharing and connection. We also saw BLW as a way to stimulate all her senses.

What scared you?

The risk of choking and aspiration: that's really what scared us the most.

Has the BLW Bébé platform helped you, if so, in what?

Oh yes! The BLW Baby platform gave us lots of good advice, which allowed us to let go and trust in our daughter's abilities.

When did Baby started to really eat more elaborate recipes?

Olivia started at 6 and a half months old with small pancakes and muffins, and we made more elaborate recipes at 8 months.

Baby's favorite recipe?

Crispy-soft banana and blueberry tarts . A resounding success every time!

What does baby don't like?

The mango. I think the texture bothers her.

A advice for parents who wish to get started?

Trust your child and your parental instincts. Don't set a specific age or compare yourself to others. You'll feel when your baby is ready, and they'll let you know. And finally, let go. If it's a failure, so be it, there'll be another time. And don't be afraid to clean up a little; what's a quick sweep of the floor, after all?

A nice or less nice anecdote to tell?

The first time Olivia tasted the crispy-melty tarts! She loved them so much that she went looking for every last little crumb left on her tray!
