Baby Nacre: Our Story, Your Breastfeeding
Dear reader, let me tell you the story of Bébé Nacre. It all began during my studies at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. I was fascinated by the way women, throughout time, used precious objects linked to their bodies.
One day, a friend told me about a Scandinavian tradition: women used shells on their breasts while breastfeeding. This idea deeply touched me. In 2006, I began searching for and crafting shells to give to my breastfeeding friends.
Little by little, with the encouragement of doctors and midwives, Baby Nacre was born. I even coined the term "breastfeeding shells"! What started as an art project has become a valuable aid for many mothers.
I wanted to bring a touch of poetry to breastfeeding, to revive a forgotten tradition. As an artist, I developed a unique technique for preparing shells. I carefully select and sculpt them in my studio, ensuring they are safe and comfortable for you and your babies.
