You may have recognized her. Among our muses, hides Océane from @plus_loin_que_la_lune. Mother of Louise and Lison, the young woman left everything for the ocean. Today, she shares her testimony on babywearing and tells us about her endless summer in her new city.
Who are you?
My name is Océane, I am 30 years old and I live in Lacanau Océan.
Who is in your family?
There are 4 of us: Louise (3 and a half years old), Lison (soon to be 2 years old), François and myself. We left Lyon almost 2 years ago following the birth of Lison. We sold everything to spend time as a family, get closer to nature and build the project of living near the ocean. We lived for 1 year in Burgundy, 6 months in Andernos then we were able to buy in Lacanau Océan. Our daughters, Louise and Lison will be going to school for the first time next year. François has completed his training which will allow him to work in nature, as for me I manage the apartments of our family SCI.
What is your story with babywearing?
When I was pregnant with Louise and I was bedridden, I had a lot of time to learn about breastfeeding, babywearing, etc. By chance I came across Studio Romeo's Instagram profile and voila, my first sling was bought! When Louise was born, it was a gift to calm her colic. There were also teething and she often only slept in a sling. In Lyon, I had no close family and I was on the 4th floor without a lift with a baby, so we took all our walks in a sling. Then Lison was born premature and in her case, babywearing had an even more intense role: Lison didn't want to sleep alone in her bed and with very bad reflux, she was carried for months for walks, naps... I called her "The baby carrier"! It was very, very well transmitted in my family, especially with Lison. When my family looked after her, they all knew very well that she always wanted to be carried or take a nap in a baby carrier . My whole family used the baby carrier, my father while gardening, my sister-in-law while walking, my brother while cooking. Babywearing has entered our family as a means of mothering. Besides, my father loves to carry girls. So I carefully keep my scarves to give them to my brothers when they have little ones of their own! :)
What are you doing this summer?
We are lucky enough to live on holiday, so we will stay on Lacanau Ocean. We are just going to Burgundy for 2 weeks to spend time with my family.
What do you pack for your vacation?
I am a minimalist at home because I hate overloading my space and even my mind... On the other hand, when I go somewhere, I am far from traveling light! Let's just say that I absolutely must not forget the girls' cuddly toys and my Studio Romeo scarf for walks.
Thanks to Océane for her testimony and join us on Instagram !
