On her main Instagram account, Isabelle reposted a reel originally shared back in August 2020, which recounted the time when Baltie, then only one year old, experienced a seizure due to an extremely high fever — an event that deeply alarmed both her and her husband, Adrien Semblat.

"As parents, it's definitely frightening to see your baby convulsing," she said in the 2020 video.

In her Instagram Story this year, she accompanied the reposted video with a thoughtful message: "So when Baltie was 1, he had a seizure because his fever was so high. Here is a cartoon I created where the animated version of Dr. @ayenuguid helped me understand what Benign Febrile Seizures are," the celebrity mom wrote in her post, raising much awareness among other parents.

Through her creative approach — turning the experience into an animated explainer for social media consumption — Isabelle helped shed light on Benign Febrile Seizures, a condition that, while alarming, is generally harmless and common in young children. Her candidness and initiative to raise awareness have earned praise from fellow parents and even netizens alike.
