Pudding is a simple, warm diary for starting solids. No lectures, no advice — you decide what and when to feed your baby; Pudding just keeps a neat record. WHAT IT DOES: • Feeding diary — log a food, a "how it went" rating, a note and photos in a couple of taps • Reactions — record skin and tummy reactions with photos; the full history is always at hand • Introducing new foods — separate observation windows for regular foods and allergens: a food counts as introduced after a few feedings on different days, with «2 of 3 feedings» progress right on the food card • Allergen maintenance — gentle reminders to repeat introduced allergens so tolerance isn't lost • Food collection — a wall of introduced foods that fills up with every little win • Calendar feed — full history by day, "reactions" and "plans" filters, plan future introductions • PDF for your pediatrician — feedings, reactions and allergen status in one document • "Do not give" sheet — a one-page memo for the nanny or daycare • Monthly recap — a shareable card of everything new your baby tried • Your own plan — set the starting age, observation windows, allergen frequency and list to match your pediatrician's guidance • Custom foods, 14 languages, light and dark themes, and Pudding the mascot PUDDING PRO — an optional one-time purchase, not a subscription: a carousel of recap cards to share, colour themes, alternate app icons, a Home Screen widget and diaries for more than one child. Everything else above stays free forever, including the PDF for your pediatrician. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVERS OF OURS: your records stay on your phone and sync through your own iCloud. Pudding is a diary, not a doctor: it prescribes nothing and advises nothing. Make all feeding decisions together with your pediatrician.

Baby First Bites is a simple journal for the big adventure of starting solids. Log each meal in seconds — one or several foods, the amount, how it went down and any reaction — and the app quietly turns your entries into a clear picture of your baby's food journey. THE JOURNAL • Log a meal with one or more foods (purees, finger foods, milk…) • Amounts in grams, milliliters or pieces • Liking (loved / okay / disliked) and a possible reaction per food • A clean day-by-day timeline of everything your baby has tried ALLERGENS, HANDLED FOR YOU • The 14 major allergens (egg, peanut, milk, fish…) tracked automatically from your journal • Each new food gets a 3-day watch window with an optional reminder • Clear statuses: watching, safe, or reacted • A progress bar of major allergens already introduced STATS & GUIDE • Foods tried, meals logged, reactions, weekly trends • A short, practical guide: when to start solids, how to introduce allergens, spotting a reaction, foods to avoid in the first year (general information, not medical advice — always follow your pediatrician) PREMIUM (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Share one journal with the other parent through your private iCloud — you both log and see the same meals • Export a clean PDF report of foods and reactions for your pediatrician • Family Sharing supported — buy once PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads, no tracking. Your baby's data stays on your iPhone — and in your own private iCloud if you enable sharing. Baby First Bites is a companion for curious little eaters, from the very first spoonful.
