Starting solids is exciting and a little nerve-wracking. Which foods first? How do I cut an avocado for a 7-month-old? Is this a choking risk? This app puts clear, practical answers in your pocket — and remembers exactly what your baby has already tried. Track every food you introduce, follow age-appropriate prep for each one, and keep a clean record of allergens as you go. Everything stays on your device — no account, no ads, no cloud. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse 100+ first foods — fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains and more, each with why it's great for babies. • Age-by-age prep — every food shows exactly how to serve it at 6–8 months, 9–11 months, and 12+ months, from mash and purée to finger-food strips. • Choking-safety tips — food-specific guidance so you can serve with confidence. • Track allergens the safe way — mark the major allergens as you introduce them one at a time, and see progress at a glance. • Log meals — record what baby ate and when, and build a simple feeding history. • Scan meals — scan meal photo for texture and choking-hazard appropriateness. • Recipes — baby-friendly ideas that grow with your child. • Nutrition highlights — see why each food is worth offering. BUILT FOR PARENTS • 100% private — everything stays on your device. No sign-up, no cloud, no tracking. • No ads, ever. • Works fully offline. • Clean, native design that's fast to use with one hand at the high chair. WHO IT'S FOR Parents and caregivers starting purées or baby-led weaning (BLW), navigating allergen introduction, or just wanting one tidy place to remember what their baby has tried. IMPORTANT This is an educational tracker, not medical advice. Age guidance follows common pediatric weaning practice — most babies start solids around 6 months. Never give honey or added salt/sugar before 12 months. Introduce one new food (especially allergens) at a time and watch for about 3 days. Always follow the guidance of your pediatrician or health visitor. Start your baby's food journey today.
