La chaise haute IKEA Antilop est l'une des meilleures bases pour pratiquer la diversification menée par l'enfant (DME). Simple à nettoyer, stable et économique, elle cochait déjà beaucoup de cases — mais avec les bons accessoires, elle devient la chaise haute DME idéale.

Étape 1 : La posture avant tout

Pour la DME, bébé doit être bien assis, avec un soutien suffisant pour se concentrer sur ses aliments plutôt que sur son équilibre. La posture idéale est la position 90-90-90 : hanches, genoux et chevilles à 90°.

Pour y parvenir :

  • Installez un repose-pieds réglable sous les pieds de bébé — indispensable pour tout bébé dont les jambes ne touchent pas encore le sol
  • Si bébé est encore petit (moins de 8-9 mois), ajoutez un coussin de soutien pour le rapprocher du plateau et améliorer son maintien latéral

Étape 2 : Préparez le plateau

Le plateau de l'Antilop est lisse et glissant — ce qui peut frustrer bébé quand les aliments fuient dans tous les sens. Un set de table en silicone antidérapant change tout : les aliments restent à portée de main et bébé peut explorer librement.

Étape 3 : La hauteur de la chaise

Ajustez la hauteur de la chaise pour que le plateau arrive approximativement à la hauteur des coudes de bébé, les bras le long du corps. Il ne doit pas hausser les épaules pour atteindre ses aliments, ni plier les bras en L trop prononcé.

Étape 4 : Les aliments de départ

Pour les débuts de la DME, proposez des aliments mous que bébé peut facilement saisir à pleine main :

  • Bâtonnets de légumes bien cuits (courgette, carotte, brocoli)
  • Bâtonnets de fruits mûrs (banane, avocat, poire)
  • Morceaux de pain ou de toast légèrement beurrés
  • Œuf brouillé ou omelette en lamelles

Étape 5 : L'ambiance du repas

Installez-vous avec bébé et mangez en même temps que lui. L'imitation est le meilleur apprentissage — en vous voyant manger avec appétit, bébé sera naturellement curieux et motivé. Éteignez la télévision, posez votre téléphone, et savourez ce moment ensemble.

Frequently asked questions

Most babies are ready for BLW around 6 months, once they can sit upright with minimal support, have lost the tongue-thrust reflex, and show interest in food. The IKEA Antilop works well from this age, especially with a footrest and cushion for proper positioning. Always check with your child health nurse or paediatrician if you're unsure about readiness.
Yes. Feeding therapists strongly recommend foot support for safe swallowing and effective self-feeding. When feet dangle, babies instinctively feel unstable and focus on balancing rather than eating. A footrest provides the stable base needed for the 90-90-90 position, which supports both safe swallowing and confident self-feeding. It's the single most important upgrade for any IKEA highchair BLW setup.
Check three things: feet flat on the footrest (not dangling), knees at roughly 90 degrees, and hips at roughly 90 degrees with their bottom pushed back in the seat. Their tummy should be close to the tray, and they should be sitting upright — not leaning back or slumping. If you see kicking, squirming, or leaning on the tray, their positioning likely needs adjusting.
You can, but a silicone placemat makes BLW significantly easier. The bare Antilop tray is smooth plastic, so food slides around when your baby tries to pick it up. A silicone placemat provides grip, contains mess with raised edges, and protects the tray from staining. It's not essential, but most BLW families tell us it's one of their best investments.
The highchair setup is actually similar for both approaches — upright posture and foot support matter regardless. However, BLW places extra emphasis on stability because your baby needs both hands free to self-feed. Traditional spoon-feeding can work with slightly less perfect positioning since the parent controls the food delivery. For BLW, the 90-90-90 position is especially important.
Check monthly. Babies grow quickly in the first year, and the footrest height that's perfect at 6 months will need lowering by 9 months. The quick test: sit your baby in the chair and look at their knees. If they're pushed up above hip level, the footrest is too high. If their feet barely reach, it's too low. Aim for feet flat and knees roughly level with hips.
Yes. The IKEA Antilop is one of the most recommended highchairs for BLW by feeding therapists and paediatric dietitians. It has a secure harness, a stable four-leg base, and its simple design makes it easy to keep clean. Adding a footrest addresses its main limitation (no built-in foot support) and makes it suitable for safe self-feeding from 6 months.
First check the footrest — if feet aren't supported, the whole body compensates. Then check the gap behind their back: if it's large, add a cushion to bring them closer to the tray. Make sure the harness is snug enough to keep their bottom pushed back in the seat. If slumping persists despite good setup, your baby may need a few more weeks of core strength development before starting BLW.
