The amount of resources and information you get with 101 before one is so helpful. The recipes tell you exactly how to cook and serve the food for your little one to safely eat and the recipes are delicious for adults too! ### 5/5 — Wish I’d known about 101beforeone sooner! *2024-09-11* The stress of starting solids with your little one is unreal. There’s so much information out there and it can certainly get overwhelming fairly quick. I’m so happy to have stumbled upon 101beforeone (wish I’d known about it much sooner). It has made our solids journey incredibly less stressful especially with a little one with allergies. I like that you can filter for certain allergen-free recipes. I LOVE that there are weekly meal plans and shopping lists. I can’t emphasize enough how useful all of this. The recipes are easy to follow and super healthy for the entire family to enjoy! Highly highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great content *2024-09-11, version 8.179.22* I was looking for guides on how to get started with solids and this app and book has been incredibly helpful. I love that the meals and family centered. It has been great to help me get out of the habit of only making the same meals over and over again. ### 5/5 — This changed me!! *2024-09-11, version 8.179.22* This program really changed me for the better! I was terrified and really nervous about starting solids with my first born. 101 before one gave me the tools and the resources as well as the community to really feel confident in what I was doing and feeding my family. My daughter is now 18 months and continuing the toddler course, we're forever grateful! ### 5/5 — Simple recipes! *2024-09-11* I absolutely hate cooking, because I find it time consuming and overwhelming. It’s not just the actual cooking, but the mental load that comes with it. But I knew that I had to do it, so that I can provide my baby with healthy meals. I’m so glad I stumbled upon 101 before one because they basically do the meal planning for you. They come out with weekly meal plans and list out the groceries needed. I appreciate how the recipes are not daunting. Also, there are admins that answer questions you have regarding any of the recipes! ### 5/5 — SLP Recommended! *2024-09-11* I’m a pediatric SLP and feeding therapist, and have loved the 101beforeone app and recipes. I’m also a first time mom with an 8 month old, and the recipes have been such a wonderful resource for my husband and I for offering new foods that the entire family can enjoy. It’s been a fun way to get us out of our usual dinner recipe “ruts”. I’ve already recommended the app as a resource for the families I work with! ### 5/5 — Highly recommend!! *2024-09-11* This app is amazing. I’ve been using it pretty much everyday for over a year. I believe following the 101 before one program helped my son eat a variety of foods. With the help of this program we introduced fruits, veggies, grains, meat and more to his diet at a young age and he learned how to manage them safely. The app is great because you can just pull up a recipe and know it includes iron, fat, and all the important nutrients for little ones. I bought the app for my sister to use with my niece and can’t wait for her to start her journey with 101 before one! ### 5/5 — Excellent Resource! *2024-09-11* I started using the app and cookbook for my first son when he was 6 months old, and at 11 months now he is eating like a champ and has a rockstar palate. I’m a pediatric registered dietitian and I value the family mealtimes, so their philosophy of making one meal that is safe and appropriate for baby to consume as well was exactly what I was looking for. These recipes are all very delicious - sometimes I’m surprised by how tasty things are that seem so simple to put together. And I appreciate how their constantly putting new recipes on the app, and sending out weekly meal plans to help give me ideas. I recommend 101 Before One to all of my friends and clients! ### 5/5 — Helpful Tool *2024-09-11, version 8.179.22* Gives you all the information you need to know and what to do to introduce solids to your baby. They use evidence based practices and make it super easy on the parent and baby. The app is easy to navigate and very user friendly. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-09-11, version 8.179.22* This app is such a game changer when planning and preparing meals for our kiddos. We loved the confidence it gave us when introducing our baby to new foods because it tells you exactly how to prepare and serve. The variety of recipes included cannot be matched and new ideas are consistently being added. Meal time would be so much more difficult without this resource! ### 5/5 — Best book to help guide you on baby and toddler solid foods! *2024-09-11* I first got the 101 before one “baby” book, I now have the toddler version on their app. This was hands down the best decision for us as a family!! We started off with the checklist and now my toddler is eating like a champ. The app to me works better for our family as I can just use the search bar to find things faster and away from home. We also get more recipes in the app as they improve and make more. 100% get this! You will not regret it! ### 5/5 — Takes all the guesswork out of starting solids *2024-09-11* Between the courses, information in app, and printed materials, 101 before one has it all laid out for you. The app is convenient, easy to use, and has endless valuable information. Definitely recommend for families with little ones. I feel prepared for baby led weaning and looking forward to using the meal plans and grocery lists for my whole family. ### 5/5 — Favorite meal plan assistant *2024-09-11* When I started my baby on solids a little over two months ago I had no idea what to feed my baby. The thought of planning multiple meals a day was intimidating (I had never been able to successfully plan ahead for even myself). This app has made it so easy. I pick from the hundreds of recipes to ensure my baby has a diverse, balanced week of meals and subsequently so do my husband and I. The meals are delicious, the additional BLW resources are extremely helpful, and as time as progressed, I feel comfortable curating my own baby-friendly family meals. As a bonus, new recipes are constantly being added so you’ll never run out of new ideas. Thank you 101 before one! ### 5/5 — Takes the guesswork out of baby led weaning ! *2024-09-11, version 8.179.22* As new and first time parents often you are like what do I do? My friend Katie recommended 101 to introduce solids and it’s been wonderful! We love it all - so helpful when starting to give solids , easy delicious recipes our son loved and great book or app options to follow. Would 1000% recommend to anyone starting solids for baby. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $60 a year?? *2026-03-14, version 8.256.72* You must pay $60 a year to use the app. That’s absolutely insane. No thanks lol. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2025-09-14, version 8.224.7* Would not let me go forward without paying a subscription ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-01-24, version 8.196.13* I bought the book and checklist but apparently that $100 I spent doesn’t buy you app access as well… What the heck? I was excited to use but can’t justify $100 for book/checklist and then ANOTHER $100 for the app. That’s absurd! ### 1/5 — Only one plan for $99?? *2024-04-18, version 8.155.18* I’m not sure if my app is messing up or what, but when I’m trying to choose a plan the only option it’s giving me is the one for $99?! It wont let me choose the infant 6-12 month option and won’t let me move past choosing the plan. I’m confused. ### 1/5 — Big mistake - don’t buy *2024-04-06* I know as a parent we often feel we have to buy all sorts of resources to set our kids up for success, but don’t buy this one! Tasteless recipes (which are poorly written) and almost no recipes which include substitutes for top 9 allergens. Highly disappointing for an app for recipes for babies and toddlers. The recipes are also heavily reliant on kitchen gadgets like slow cookers, pressure cookers and waffle makers. This might seem like a really harsh review, but I just don’t want other parents wasting their money the way I did. There are lots of really good recipe apps and books for babies and toddlers out there. This isn’t one of them ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2024-02-14, version 8.145.9* Have tried multiple times to login via verifying my email and it just takes me in circles ### 3/5 — App isn’t very user friendly *2026-03-04, version 8.256.72* I love the concept of this and love the information. However, the app feels clunky and is hard to navigate. It’s hard to find exactly what you’re looking for at times. I wish there was a way for me to print out recipes that are only on the app because it’s cumbersome to find them when I’m trying to cook and have a six month old I have to entertain. Many of the other BLW apps have friendlier interfaces. ### 3/5 — Good information but.. *2026-01-05* Good information but the app is not very use friendly. I find it difficult to navigate/find what I’m looking for. ### 4/5 — Love This Program *2026-08-03* I’ve used this program for years with two babies we eat almost all of our meals from this app. Healthy, yummy, and realistic meals. The only really frustrating thing with this app is when you search it comes with everybody’s names that also uses it, No one wants to contact somebody through the app, but when I want to search for something like “fish”, I have to scroll through everyone with the last name Fisher. Also I don’t want random people to contact me from my blw app. I don’t see anyway to turn that off. It’s odd. ### 4/5 — This program is awesome *2024-02-14* I love the accessible masterclasses, faqs and recipes… from start to finish the program is well thought out an achievable! When I began looking for my baby’s BLW needs, I knew I would look no further. You can find them on Instagram and now they have their own app! So glad to see such a great company grow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-03-23, version 8.205.23* Fantastic (essential, really) resource for infant feeding starting at 6 months and on. Also love the recipe book that goes with it— feeling excited, ready, and informed to start our kiddo on solids! ### 5/5 — Changed our solids journey for the better! *2025-03-02* This app is worth every penny. It truly changed our solids journey for the better. As a first time mom with a baby about to start solids, it was terrifying and I had no clue where to begin. This app has endless baby safe recipes and tells you how to safely serve for each age. And they give you balanced family dinner ideas so you’re not cooking separately for baby and family. I don’t think she would have tried nearly as many foods are be as good of an eater as she is now at 10 months without this app! Highly recommend especially for new parents. ### 5/5 — Reassuring for 1st time parents *2024-09-17, version 8.179.22* I was not feeling confident about how to transition my baby to purées / solids or when he would be ready to move on to bigger bites or textures. I did a lot of research and luckily I came across 101 before one! Honestly so helpful to understand what I should be introducing to my baby, how to introduce a food, and then how to adjust how the food is served as my baby grows. It was amazing to have this tool. We were just shy of trying 100 different foods before 1 but now I love looking at the recipes for snack and dinner ideas. It’s amazing to only need to make one meal for my husband, son, and I. Couldn’t recommend this app enough for parents who need confidence when transitioning to solids or parents who need ideas/help with nutritious recipes ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-09-14, version 8.179.22* A plethora of resources led by a knowledgeable group of professionals. This is not a “checklist only” app. It has EVERYTHING. Depending on the package you choose, it has Checklists, recipes, communication, troubleshooting, safety training and so much more. This app has been a great resource for my family and I’m glad to have access to it in my pocket wherever I am. ### 5/5 — A must have!! *2024-09-12, version 8.179.22* This app and program is organized and easy to use! Gives all the information you need! My baby is 4 months old and I feel ready to start feeding solids very soon. I like the app layout and how it goes hand in hand with the printed book! ### 5/5 — Best guide for BLW *2024-09-11* I purchased this program in preparation of my son starting solids at six months. The first four week meal plan helped guide me and made BLW go smoothly. Fast forward to now, he is 11 months and doing so well with solids. Ate over 100 different foods before 9 months and has done so well. Love how I can look up any recipe I want and it is tailored to his nutritional needs. Also, my husband and I love the meals too!! Would highly recommend this app for parents and their children. ### 5/5 — 100% for 101! *2024-09-11* This app gets five stars because it’s so comprehensive and the app is so easy to navigate and I’m able to easily look up recipes at the grocery store and ask questions on the recipes that get answered right away! If you have any doubt about purchasing this app, you will not be disappointed! I love that the professionals behind this app are a team of doctors, nurses, researchers, parents, preschool teachers, and speech pathologists sharing current evidence spaced practices for baby led weaning! ### 5/5 — Love this *2024-09-11, version 8.179.22* This book is wonderful! I am a registered dietitian myself and it is so nice to take the mental load off from thinking of what foods to introduce and different recipe ideas to do so in a safe fun way! Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — One-Stop Shop for Starting Solids! *2024-09-11* I love that 101 Before One includes recipes that I would eat - this makes it a game changer for baby-led feeding to have meal plan ideas that both us and our baby can eat while offering our baby lots of different foods. TONS of educational materials in the app too - has covered all the questions I have with starting solids and it’s nice to have that along with recipes in the same app. I’m also a dietitian and recommend this app as the one families should get for starting solids and baby-led feeding! ### 5/5 — Love, Love, Love *2024-09-11* I’m a Licensed Family Child Care Provider. I purchased the plan over a year ago to help with an infant who was transitioning to solids. It’s helped me to introduce allergens as well as provide a variety of flavors and ethnic dishes we would’ve never tried. I also love the weekly menu plans - breakfast, lunch, dinner with suggestions for fruit for the week. This is awesome not just for babies but for any family looking to eat healthier! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
