Track every food your baby tries, from the first spoon of apple purée to the full family table. Baby Meal turns the classic paper food-introduction chart into a beautiful, tappable tracker that lives in your pocket. Baby Meal is made for parents starting complementary feeding, baby-led weaning (BLW), or classic purée-first approaches. One less thing to keep in your head during the most sleep-deprived year of your life. EVERY FOOD, ORGANIZED BY AGE A curated catalog of 125+ first foods, grouped by age stage (4–6 months, 7–8 months, and beyond) and six categories: fruits & berries, vegetables, proteins, carbs, fats — and allergens, clearly marked so you know exactly which foods to introduce with care. LOG A TRY IN ONE TAP New foods need multiple tries before babies accept them. Tap to log each try, then record the verdict: liked it, was okay with it, or refused. Watch picky eating turn into progress. CATCH ALLERGENS EARLY Common allergens are flagged in the catalog, so you can introduce them one at a time and note any reaction — exactly what pediatricians recommend. SEE THE FULL PICTURE The progress board shows your baby's entire food journey at a glance: what's been tried, what's a favorite, and what's still ahead. A food diary keeps the day-by-day history. SHARE WITH YOUR PEDIATRICIAN Export the whole tracker as a clean PDF — perfect for checkups, or for grandparents and caregivers who feed the baby too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No data leaves your phone. Everything works offline.
