Parent testimony of Denis, Papa de Julia who started the BLW thanks to BLW BABE.

Present yourself baby and you in a few words.

I am 29 years old and I am the dad of Julia who is 13 months old today. I am a carpenter, but also the first male port instructor in Wallonia.

 

Why did you choose the BLW ?

With my wife, we discovered the BLW while we were waiting for Julia and we loved the idea that she could discover food by herself.

 

What scared you?

I was quite serene, but my wife was at first glance a little afraid of suffocation. I did a day of training in pediatric first aid 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 the fine motor skills stage of Julia. We also found answers to all the practical questions we were asking ourselves (material, etc ...)

 

When did Baby started to really eat more elaborate recipes?

From the second week, I gave her recipes from the platform and she appreciated.

 

Baby's favorite recipe?

Without a doubt: spinach pancakes! Big success over time. She is still also a fan today.

 

What does baby don't like?

Contrary to popular belief, Julia hates carrots. We have tried to offer it in all its forms, so far it is a failure.

 

A advice for parents who wish to get started?

To learn well and let go.

 

A nice or less nice anecdote to tell?

One day we had 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 freed.

Now Julia wakes up from the nap and we are going to get her in her room ... During this time, it was feather, our dog who benefited from our cook's talents ... She has absolutely ate everything ...

We were disappointed and she was sick for 48 hours

Having started purees at 4 months and wanting to start BLW from 6 months is quite possible. Or you are wondering how breast / infantile milk and BLW combined.
