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.
