Solenn Heussaff on why parents must make good food choices: ‘We’ll influence a lifelong behavior’

First-time mom Solenn Heussaff is fully aware of the importance of food choices for her daughter Thylane, which makes her extra conscious about her own eating habits.

Heussaff wants to be the perfect example for her daughter’s eating patterns, as stated in her Instagram page yesterday, Feb. 7, where she also shared a photo of herself, baby Thylane and husband Nico Bolzico eating together.

“As new parents, we realize our own food choices play an important role in building Thylane’s eating habits later in life. We try by setting ourselves as an example, as we will be influencing a lifelong behavior,” she said, also noting that “eating as a family keeps us healthy together.”

Heussaff, in a separate post on Feb. 6, also spoke about the importance of reading books about parenting, and how it has helped her learn about the nutrition that a baby needs while it is still in the womb and after being born.

“I have read many parenting books, and yes there is a lot of information out there and this can be overwhelming as a new parent. I learned how nutrition (especially phospholipids) is the most important for your child from what you eat when he/she is inside till afterwards (I know, sounds logical),” she said.

“Today, I am learning about how crucial the first [five] years are for brain development. As early as now, it is important to set your child up for [a] successful future,” the actress added.

Heussaff, who is also a visual artist, is poised to mount another exhibit this March, her first “after more than two years of talking about it,” as she stated in a post last week. JB
