Must-have for starting solids. This app is the number 1 resource that helped us feel confident starting solids with our baby. Knowing how to prepare and serve so many different foods was a life saver, and watching videos of actual babies eat the same foods is so reassuring. The design and ease of use of the app is also top notch, so it’s easy and quick to check something when you are busy preparing a meal. My only tiny complaint is some of the more obscure foods we eat weren’t in there yet, but I know the database is expanding everyday so I have no doubt they’ll be there eventually! Thank you so much to solid starts for such an amazing resource that helped make our weaning journey much less stressful!

Happy Tears. When I first learned about baby lead weaning I knew it was what I wanted for my children, but I would not have had the confidence to do baby lead weaning without Solid Starts. My first child began solid foods just over two months ago and introducing her to real foods has been the most incredible experience. Watching her explore and enjoy eating the foods that are important to our family regularly brings tears to my eyes. I cry at the dinner table on a regular basis because my daughter is forming such a positive and wonderful relationship with food and I could not feel more elated. I am someone who has a clinically diagnosed anxiety disorder and solid starts has helped me to become so educated on baby lead weaning that I’ve never felt anxious when my daughter has been eating.

Raising a very happy eater with this app. I was introduced to Solid Starts when my son was a newborn and solids was the last thing on my mind at the time (I was dealing with postpartum anxiety and my son had terrible gas pains disrupting his sleep). When he turned 6 months and was ready to start solids, this app was the first thing I turned to after following Solid Starts on IG for a few weeks and understanding the benefits of finger foods and BLW. We introduced whole broccoli florets as his first food with nervous excitement and now that he’s about to turn 9 months, broccoli is still one of his favourite foods. We’ve introduced over 90 different foods to him in just 3 months all thanks to this app and all the resources on the Solid Starts website. It’s relieved much anxiety as a new mum and it’s helped me educate family members and friends too who also now support how he eats (instead of saying babies can only eat purées). I cannot recommend Solid Starts enough to anyone wanting to help their baby/child become a happy (and safe) eater!

The only app you need. The best app for learning how to feel your baby REAL foods! I used the paid subscription option for the first few months of my son eating solids and that gave me peace of mind when introducing new foods and tracking reactions (if any). My son is now 16 months and I will still occasionally use this to read up on new foods as his abilities and palate is expanding. I love the nutrition rating and notes about the health benefits of each food. The best thing about this app is that it’s given me tons of practice and instilled confidence in me with how to prepare foods, foods that could be a choking risk, etc. it’s like a second nature to me now and I will continue to use this app as a resource for him and my future babies.

Our “bible” during our daughter’s solid food journey. I can’t say enough amazing things about solid starts. Our daughter is a solid starts graduate, we started BLW at 6 months old - the app was so helpful! I recommend it to everyone that has young babies even if they aren’t planing on doing BLW. The app is so informative. It was wonderful to have this resource on the go if I needed to double check how to safely serve my daughter a new food. Our daughter had a questionable food allergy and it was so helpful to have the food tracker that I could add notes to. It was always great to have the exact amount of times she was served a food and if she had a potential reaction. Truly an amazing resource!

A Must Have Resource. As a new mom, eager to learn about how to safely introduce solids to my baby, this app has been a critical tool and resource in our journey. I opted for the paid version where I can log and track my son’s progress. I use this app every single day to create my grocery lists, to reference while cooking and preparing my son’s meals, to log what he ate, note any reactions, and add details about his eating experience. This app makes me feel more empowered, educated, and confident in pursuing a finger foods first journey. It’s worth every penny! I can’t wait to see the database expand to include even more foods, recipes, and information. Do yourself a favor and purchase the app if you’re a caregiver to a baby or toddler!!

EVERY PARENT NEEDS THIS APP. I would be so lost as a parent if it wasn’t for Solid Starts. I WAS lost before I found solid starts. There is SO much conflicting information out there about starting solids. I remember when one of the first foods I gave my then 6 month old was mashed raw raspberry, and I FREAKED OUT for a week after my mom told me I couldn’t give him raw berries just yet. I googled it and sure enough, there were websites that supported that statement. But then other website said no big deal. Solid starts and this app completely take the guessing out of it, and I am so thankful for that. I really love the fact that I can trust them with all my heart and know that they are never sponsored. My science background mind NEEDS credibility, and the information provided in this app is credible and beyond. Every pediatrician needs to recommend this platform to parents. I ALL here for this baby food revolution ❤️

A must have for all parents!. I started following Solid Starts on Instagram before I was even pregnant. I came across their page when they were first getting started and thought, “when I have kids, this is how I want to teach them to eat.” Fast forward a couple years, and I’m now pulling my 9-month old up to the table in her high chair and sharing meals with her. She eats what we eat, and she loves food and is a fantastic eater. If it weren’t for Solid Starts, I would certainly have puréed everything not knowing there was another option. Their app is one of the most used on my phone, as I’m constantly checking to make sure I’m preparing food for my daughter safely and to keep an eye out for what to watch for (possible reactions, choking hazards, etc.). And what’s more incredible is, it’s free! What Jenny and her team have provided to parents is an incredible resource. I highly recommend following them on Instagram, as well as purchasing their guides if you can.

Way more helpful than my pediatrician!. While I love my pediatrician, he’s a bit, mmm, behind on the research into feeding babies. He wanted me to use rice cereal, avoid nuts until my son is 12 months old, and stick to just purées. This app (along with the bundle on the website) made me feel EMPOWERED to take control. EVERYTHING is evidence-based. The studies they reference are linked. Each food includes a recipe and even flavor pairing suggestions. My son is 9 months old and has already tried 79 foods, and it’s truly thanks to Solid Starts! I subscribed to track what my son eats in a day and I love seeing the number of foods tried increase! I recommend Solid Starts to everyone who has a baby, and I can’t wait for the Spanish version of the app to be released because I live in LatAm and just know so many of my friends here will benefit from the resource in Spanish!

Wonderful! Must have for Baby led weaning!. I’m a first time mom, and I started spoon feeding my son, but he always gazed longingly at our food when we would eat. I had heard of baby led weaning but wasn’t sure about it (choking, yikes). Solid starts Instagram page led me to their app. This team of professionals has put together an amazing app, including any food you can think of, recipes, how to cut the food safely for your child’s age, videos of other children eating, nutrition, allergy info, choking info and more. I’ve never felt more confident feeding my son than I do now after a few months of using the app. I use it practically every day for guidance on size guides for foods and recipes. Thank you solid starts! (There are some app glitches, but overall I have to give it five stars. It’s a relatively new app, so I’m sure with time their amazing team will work out the kinks.)

LIFESAVER. As a mom of 4 little ones, 3 of whom were born during the pandemic, this app saved my life. It’s literally like Google for how to feed your baby properly and safely. The entire Solid Starts community is POWER for women, mothers, parents. The work they do is amazing. And to be able to have access to something like this FREE of cost says so much about what they stand for. Having knowledge about how to safely and properly feed your baby REAL food from the start shouldn’t be a secret, it should be available to everyone. And this app is just the start of all the amazing things they will do. I have so much confidence in my little eaters and the skills they’ve gained because we followed the methods presented to us by this amazing group of professionals. Thank you thank you thank you!

You must get this app!!. Love everything about the app!! So easy to keep track of the foods I’ve been feeding baby. I love the videos, it helps so much. The nutritional facts, the way it categorizes the foods by baby’s month .. i love to follow them on Instagram. Love everything about the app!! Love your stories and follow your journey with your twins and Charlie. You have helped me so much figuring out safe foods for my 6 month old. If I could just give one piece of advice to the makers of the app.. allow for some type of “family sharing” database .. my partner downloaded the app and I already paid for the yearly subscription and is making her also paid for the subscription when she downloaded the app even though she’s logging in with my information. How are we supposed to “share” our sons information if we each have our own app information in it, should be easier to share the info. Please and thank you .

Guesswork gone with starting solids!. Love this app and have paid for the tracking features as well because it allows me to log and see how many different foods my son has tried! We’re aiming for 100 different foods/ingredients by the time he is 1 year old! I love all the details and thought put into this app with how to feed by age, recipes, choking and hazard info, and allergen info. Takes the guesswork out of baby led weaning! And I’m able to look items up on the spot because we’re not big on cooking right now but can at least cut up or quickly cook an ingredient for my son. My husband and I feel so much confidence in being able to feed our son (and have him feed himself!). The gagging and coughing don’t scare us as we’ve now learned it’s natural and an important part of learning how to eat. We’re at one meal a day so far with doing dinners and it’s starting to feel like this fun routine! Adding another meal soon as well as lettting daycare feed our son. Using this app has made it all surprisingly easy!

No picky eaters in this house!. When my now 3 year old was starting solids I remember googling “foods to not need your baby”. A guide popped up from SolidStarts and it costed money that I didn’t have due to leaving my job at the start of the pandemic. I began to scour the internet looking for information about how to feed my child and prevent picky eating. Eventually I found the Solid Starts IG and fell in love with the mission and the founder Jenny. This app has been so helpful in tracking food I have introduced and how much my toddler liked them. I reference the first foods database in this app multiple times a week and it helped guide me in introducing, my toddler and family, new varieties of foods. Thanks team!

The best resource when starting solids. If you don’t already follow them on Instagram and visit their website. They have so many wonderful posts about how to introduce different foods to your baby. When you begin your baby’s journey with solids it is terrifying you don’t know what they can eat, how much they can eat, how to make a food for them, how to serve that food safely. Well! Let me tell you Solid Starts has it all for you and explains how to change the food idea being served to meet your child’s developmental skills. I have learned so much and feel so much more confident feeding my baby. Do your self a favor and download this application. You will be so much more confident going through your babies solids journey.

App Problem Fixed!. The app is working again for me, per developer suggestion for fix. Thank you!! Loved using this with my first and excited to use it again with my second. SEE INITIAL ISSUE BELOW. I used the free version of this with my first child, but now that I have tried to use this with my second child, the app doesn’t work. It shows the sign up and log in button options, as well as a continue as guest option…but when I click on any of those, nothing happens. I am able to scroll through the opening pics highlighting features, but I’m not able to “get into” the app like I could before. I’m really disappointed! I’d love to change my rating if/when this gets resolved.

Absolutely must have for anyone with babies or toddlers. This has been my absolute favorite app of all time. I’ve downloaded dozens and dozens of apps since getting pregnant with my first baby and this one is the absolute most helpful by far. I use it no less than 5x a day I’m sure. Also the website and courses/videos by solid starts are incredible. I did spoon feeding and purées with my first born and he became a terrible picky eater. The solid starts program has helped us so much in getting him back on track. When my second baby was born, I started using their resources right away and she has become the most wonderful eater. We enjoy meals as a family now and it has truly been life changing. I wish so much I’d had this when my first was born so we could have known all the things we could have been doing better from the start! This app is the best, truly couldn’t live without it now.

Could potentially be a life saver but is most definitely the best resource for BLW. I cannot express how helpful Solid Starts has been in my baby led feeding journey. The team is packed with experienced and highly knowledgeable professionals specializing in various roles (pediatrician, allergist, swallowing specialist, nutritionist and more). They are breaking apart old myths and undoing what baby food industry has done in the (at least) past five decades. They will empower you with the knowledge to make a smart and safe decision for your individual child. Grab their various guides and recipes catered to your own child and their needs. Most of them are not free but the knowledge and peace of mind is worth more than what you pay for.

Awesome tool for BLW and even older. I followed Solid Starts on Instagram since before I started solids with my first child about 3 years ago. They were so helpful for overcoming the fear of choking and just feeling confident to help my babies explore food. I was so happy when they finally came out with their app and just in time for my second baby! I could easily and quickly look up a food I wasn’t sure how to introduce or if it was safe. They have such a great range of foods so I usually don’t have much problems finding it but if I do I know it will eventually get added. Jenny, the founder, and all her team are incredible and so generous! I am extremely grateful for what they’ve done to help my family and so many parents out there! I love the Solid Starts team and this awesome app!

This app changed my life.. Solid Starts has been a game changer for our family. The pediatrician told us to start introducing solids around 5 months. No directions. No guidance. Lots of googling "can babies eat ..." and anxiety was skyrocketing. I was going down the path of purees and spoon feeding. Then soon after a friend told me about Solid Starts and I've watched every Instagram story ever since. Jenny and her team gave me a priceless gift-one thing to cross off the worry list in raising our daughter. I have a 16 month old little foodie all thanks to this app and this team. It's on my Home Screen. I use it all the time. Just so grateful for the Herculean effort it took to build this and have paid it forward telling any friend with a new baby to further this community and Jenny's most admirable mission to create a feeding revolution. It's unstoppable.

THE BEST BLW RESOURCE I HAVE FOUND. This app is unbelievably helpful when starting solids with a baby. The pictures, the descriptions, the search tool, the nutrition information, everything everything everything. I could rave about this all day but if you have a baby you might needs to stop reading soon. I still use it for my 16 month old if I am nervous about how to serve a particular new food. Starting solids can be overwhelming but I felt like I had the Solid Starts team holding my hand every step of the way. The only thing I could recommend besides this app is their guides available on their website. Don’t stress trying to do it alone, they have experts laying it all out on the table. Literally ;)

Lifesaver, this app!. My baby girl is six months old and a few days. Nervous and excited were the two emotions I felt as I prepared for the inevitable day of introducing solid foods. We introduced food a few days ago (on her 6 month birthday) and it’s going good, not great, just as expected. However, the solid stars app gave me total peace of mind and confidence as I prepared for this. I used the app to search for foods, save my favorites, watch videos, learn about how to serve food, recipes, etc. Just 3 days in and my baby has tried avocado, sweet potato, and banana. There’s been some gagging, but I was able to remain calm, smiling as she worked through it (seconds felt like minutes!). She’s been playing with the food, putting some in her mouth either directly from the tray or spoon, and spitting most of it back out. Anyways, I’m so excited to keep going and share my love for food with my baby! Highly recommend solid starts to anyone with babies! I signed up for the subscription, in order to be able to log foods, save favorites, so on. Love it!! Thanks solid starts :)

Love this app!. First time mom and my baby has a dairy allergy. I love being able to not just track foods but easily see how to best serve them. (The interface is so user friendly.) Takes the pressure off having to prepare before every meal and sometimes spontaneous things happen. It gives me peace of mind when my husband/sister will ask if kiddo can have whatever food and I can quickly see if it’s safe at her age and how to serve it. I highly recommend the courses from solid starts as well. Knowing gagging is normal and not the same as choking and how they coach spitting has made meal time better for us both. Can’t recommend everything Solid Starts does enough!!! Truly incredible resources.

Love the organization, don’t love the app. I follow solidstarts on instagram, and I learn so much about BLW, how to safely cut food for different ages. I love the pictures and write ups. I have a few gripes about the app. 1- It logs me out often 2- The search feature is really weird? I literally typed “bla” to searcb for blackberry and the top results were Milk (cow), Honey, Rice, Peanut Butter, Butter. I don’t even eat 3/5 of those and none of them start with bla. I always have to type the whole thing, which is fine, but counter intuitive to every search feature out there. I also wish I could filter searches or my app to only include certain dietary preferences. We don’t eat animal products so it would be nice to exclude all non-vegan items. I’m sure people who follow kosher etc might also like that.

LOVE It. I so wish I had found this years ago with my first two kids! I did purées too long with my first because I was so scared. So glad to have this resource now with my third who refused purées from the beginning. I did not know what to do, but I found Solid Starts on IG and watched so many videos of babies gagging to help me not panic when starting out. Thank you Jenny and team for helping this third time mama (prone to anxiety and worry) with first time baby led weaning feel more comfortable and confident starting solids. Starting solids is one of my least favorite milestones to be honest, but Solid Starts has been such a blessing and valuable resource! It is so nice to have baby be able to eat much of what we eat with modifications. Thanks so much for your hard work!!

MUST HAVE FOR ALL PARENTS. I’ve used Solidstarts Instagram to learn how to cut foods and recipe ideas. However, the FREE app is beyond convenient to search exactly what you’re trying to serve. I’ve used his app for my first child. He’s now 20 months and thriving with food. He eats what we eat and I owe it all to Solidstarts. My daughter is 7 months and we started solids about a month ago. I’ve since forgotten how to serve a lot of foods for her age range. But then I can easily search the app and see how to cut foods, how to prepare, nutrition facts, history of the food etc. and it’s all backed by specialists, doctors and research. There’s also a free recipe included with each food they have in their system. Which is a win-win. You can decide to purchase a subscription to track foods. Their website also provides even MORE searchable data. They have a very advanced search engine which allows you to look up things like “prevent picky eating”, “baby eating fast” etc. and all the articles will populate on that topic. It’s amazing what this company is doing. I recommend this to all of the parents I know. I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication!!

If you’re looking for inclusivity that takes out the guesswork, this is it. I’m a mom of an almost 2 year old and had no idea what I was doing when my son first started solids. What I loved about the database is that it’s so inclusive. My parents are Nicaraguan immigrants and I grew up loving guayabas (guavas), so when it was time for my son to eat solids I wanted to share this with him expecting that it wouldn’t be on here. I can’t describe how seen I felt when I realized guavas was listed. My favorite feature is that the database breaks down how to serve various foods to him depending on age. This has taken out so much guesswork, anxiety and stress for starting solids. Thank you Solid Starts for everything you do!

I love SS but the app needs work. Solid Starts is the absolute best for baby- led weaning. There is no other account I followed to get our baby started with solids However - the app needs a lot of work. After days of crashing, I deleted and re-downloaded the app, and after logging into my profile, all my data was gone. We were so close to 1 yr/ 100 foods. PLEASE make have the data live with the profile and not the app. As a subscriber, I should be able to log in on the app or my computer and see our data. So disappointing we lost all the information right before our big milestone. The searching algorithm could use some work too. Would suggest also that logging food not in the app should be counted per item, not lumped into one to be more accurate.

Must have for parents, but especially useful for new parents!. Raising a kid is hard, especially as you pass new milestones. When the pediatrician told us we were good to go to start solids, I was lost. I spent weeks researching and had a really hard time finding any thing that was actually evidence based. Somehow, I stumbled on SolidStarts on Instagram and I am so thankful for the information they provided. My son is now 18 months and he is an amazing eater (although we have hit the toddler refusal stage.) I feel so empowered knowing that my son has developed such great eating skills. And my in laws and blown away that my son prefers broccoli to chocolate 🤷‍♀️ thank you for what you are doing, it is game changing!!! The app is amazing for tracking foods tries, reactions, etc. I also love how it guides you on how to serve food based on age. This is a must have for parents!

Mom of 3 totally recommends!!. My kids are 9, 7, and 1. Unfortunately, I only discovered solid starts with my third child. I wish I had it for all three of my kiddos! The information learned has been priceless and invaluable. I have never met Jenny, the founder, but through the app and Instagram feed, I feel like we would be very good friends. Her experience and knowledge has helped me as a mom tremendously! Not only does she and her team know a lot about food for babies and toddlers, but they talk about real life. Not just the highlight reel posted on Instagram! I can’t say enough positive things about this team! Thank you for the inspiration. Thank you for the education. Thank you for everything.

Please allow reactions to track separate!. Love the app, fun to track foods and very informative showing how to cut, serve etc. My only suggestion, and I feel like I can’t be the only one - often times we’ll try a few new foods in a day, or a puree pouch with multiple ingredients. I’m good about tracking each independent ingredient. One day my son had a small rash on his stomach, it happened at the same time as a cold, and he was also on antibiotics, and it went away after a day or two. We still aren’t sure what it was from. I’d love to be able to just track a REACTION without it being attached to a food. Then If it happens again we could go back and see ah he ate apricot on both days, that must be the culprit etc. Please add this feature!

Daily user. I am so thankful to have come across Solid Starts (referred by a friend). I’m not kidding when I say I open this app and use it EVERY DAY. From checking safe ways to prepare foods, to recipes, to searching groups of new foods to try that are high in protein or fiber, I feel like the app is my food bible. My little one is adventurous when it comes to eating and the app has been amazing to get our whole family to try new foods and flavors that I never would have gone for. The videos of different ages eating have also helped my anxiety with introducing solids. I feel so much more prepared and know what to expect. Not to mention so much truly FREE content. The Solid Starts team are full of superheroes. I cannot thank them enough ❤️

Obsessed. As a new mom I was pretty clueless about baby food and what to do and when to introduce. I started the process of making all homemade purées and then I found Solid Starts. I’m so thankful! This has been my guide for what/when/how to introduce food since my daughter was 5 months. I’m so happy we decided to do solid foods and baby led weaning. I use the recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. When we first began introducing food I would use the database to figure the proper way to serve for her age. The app, database and Solid Starts community has been such a game changer for my family and has given me the confidence to feed my baby delicious foods and not just purées. I can’t recommend enough!!

Helped my family successfully navigate feeding our first!. My daughter is currently 15 months and I have to say, the solid starts app (and IG account and all associated materials) have been one of the most used parts of my day. It’s so nice and quick to reference age appropriate serving, I can’t believe such a comprehensive database is free (although I also do recommend the paid programs as well with gusto!). It gives confidence during such an uncertain time. My daughters pediatrician even told me today during a checkup appt she took the Pros course and recommends this program now to all of her patients. I was so stoked to hear and so proud of the solid starts team (I feel like I know them hah)! Tl;dr - 10/10 recommend for all parents to navigate feeding!!! You won’t regret it!

Thank God for this app!. This app has been a Godsend for this FTM trying to navigate how to do baby-led weaning. So much thought, time, and research clearly went into this to make it as helpful and user-friendly as possible. I love how the format is consistent across foods so I always knew where to find nutrition info, whether a food is an allergen or choking hazard, how to prepare it based on age, and recipes. I honestly don’t know how I would be making it through this baby milestone without it! One update after seeing some critical reviews - those people rating it a 1 or 2 are clearly not using this app correctly, don’t understand that there are still many features that are useable without a subscription, and/or just plain angry people who will obviously critique and complain about anything. Some of their complaints truly bother me because this app has clearly been a labor of love from Jenny and her team and has such tremendous value!

Great info but the paid Tracker feature is poorly designed. I love the info for each of the foods, and it’s been a great resource for introducing baby led weaning. However, that info is free on their app and on their website, with the paid subscription for the app including just the tracker. I paid the $10 for the year long subscription so that I could log what foods my baby eats. While this was helpful for the first couple weeks or so, the way that their app is designed makes it a very poor experience. For example, if my baby ate banana French toast, I have to separately search “bread”, then log it, then search “egg” and log it, search “banana” and log it, etc. It’s extremely time consuming, especially if baby is starting to eat a variety of foods each day. There’s no multi select or group select for the Tracker, which makes it inefficient. Also, their tool is very interesting…if I’m searching “salmon”, for example, and type the first three letters, it comes up with “yam” instead as the top result. So if I’m trying to log quickly, I have to type out the entire word before it even comes up as an option. All in all, great resources that are free, but would not recommend the paid subscription until their UX gets some major improvement.

Every new parent needs this app!. I am SO thankful for this app and the Solid Starts team. As a first time mom, I had zero idea of how to start solids. My only example of feeding a baby was puréed foods with a spoon held by a parent. The content provided by Solid Starts gave me the confidence to start solids when my baby was ready shortly after 6 months! We were extra nervous because baby girl had food allergies while breastfeeding, but the app gave me the tools I needed to track allergen exposure as well as help with spotting allergic reactions. I figured out how to serve the foods we were eating in a baby safe way (preparing only 1 meal was a game changer!) AND, when accompanied by their website, I Iearned how to coach my baby to spit, how to spot gagging, how to prepare for and also possibly prevent choking, and how to provide an array of foods without pressure so my girl would develop a healthy relationship with food. I’m now learning the difference between normal toddler eating behavior and picky eating - which I never would have known without this team. Thank you for this free resource!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!

All mamas need this!. As a first time mama, I had fed my son too many purees at first and when it was time to feed him solid foods, I wouldn’t feed him much of a variety because he would try something and act like he didn’t like it so I would just think to myself, “Okay. He doesn’t like that. I’m not going to serve it again.” This led to him being picky and not really willing to try new foods. I wouldn’t say that he’s extremely picky, but still.. I knew that I wanted to do something completely different the second time around. As a second time mama, I decided to go with baby led weaning. I knew that I was going to do it, even if I didn’t know how. Right as I was having my second child start solids, I found solid starts. And thank goodness because it helped me so much. I was able to serve him a variety of foods, have him eat what we ate by learning how to cut it and just make simple modifications like not adding salt or sugar. It was slow in the beginning, mostly because I was always afraid of him choking. But they teach you the difference between choking and gagging as well. And as he for better at eating I became more confident in what I was doing as well. I owe it all to solid starts. I would recommend this app to any of my mama friends or family. So great to see my son eat 3 meals a day at only 10 months old and my first son willing to try new things as well.

Can’t live without. I spent nearly $200 on a BLW programming (from a different company) but after finding this app I haven’t referenced the program once. This app has everything I need as a new mom to confidently introduce solids to my babe. I use it almost daily when prepping and planning foods for him. The “how to serve” and “videos” sections are the most useful in my opinion. Seeing videos of other babies trying the same foods has calmed my first time mama nerves on multiple occasions. And the tracker/milestones is exciting to use to see all the things babe has eaten. Well worth the money for the full version. Thank you for the time and energy spent creating and maintaining this app!

Taking the fear out of starting solids. I have loved Solid Starts on Instagram for awhile. I could hardly contain my excitement when she announced they were launching an app. This app does not disappoint. As moms and dads, time is one of the most valuable things we have. I spent weeks researching baby led weaning before a friend recommended solid starts. The information on baby led weaning is often overwhelming and intimidating. I felt defeated before I even began. Having a go to resource like this (almost) takes the stress away. It’s everything you need in the simplest possible form. Nothing is overwhelming and it’s broken down in ways that make starting solids manageable. I can’t say enough good things about this entire team of wonderful experts. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking something so many of us love and making it even better!

Amazing!!!. I love this app soooooo much , there is so much attention to detail, so much information and a lot of it for free. Yes you can find a lot of this info elsewhere but who has time for google when you have a baby. I understand why they cant really divide this by age group, like i read in a 2 star review (????) , if you really think about it… you can have a 7 month old who is a pro at eating certain things or like me have an 11 month old who has just started solids, everyone’s experience is unique and you can’t really force a baby to eat something if he is not ready. I greatly appreciate all the information the solid starts team has put together and is constantly sharing in the app, the website and instagram. It brings so much peace to my day to day. Just thank you!!!

Amazing. Solid Starts has taught me EVERYTHING that I know about feeding my baby (now toddler). I started following their instagram when my son was getting close to starting solids, and have been a faithful follower ever since. They are so thorough that I never even bothered to research anywhere else. I was so excited when this app came out. It makes looking up food so so easy, just takes a few seconds and I can see how to cut a food for my son, how risky it is, nutritional value, and it even includes recipes. It is an incredible resource and I recommend it to anyone who I talk to about feeding babies. I’ve even made my parents download it so they can see how to safely prepare food when he is with them!

Solid Starts is amazing!!. If you haven’t already, follow Solid Starts on Instagram, subscribe to the newsletter, buy the All Access Pass and soak in all the amazing content provided in the FREE app and website database. This has been my go-to resource for all things baby-feeding (and still is, even though my Little has moved into toddlerhood). The content Solid Starts provides is so well researched, completely vetted by so many professionals/experts, is wonderfully inclusive, and completely real (no paid promotion recommendations, no “this is all happy and easy”, and no shame if you fed your kid cereal for dinner today)... It’s just about providing resources, encouragement, and support so families can avoid raising picky eaters and provide opportunities for their babes to (safely) get exposure to a ton of different flavors, textures, & colors. I’m a big fan and can’t recommend Solid Starts enough!

Great for BLW, subscription is meh. This app is amazing for baby led weaning. Everyone who watches my son has the app as well. I feel no worry or anxiety watching him eat whole foods because I know it’s been cooked and cut correctly depending on his age. I feel like if I didn’t have this app I would’ve given in to serving purees. I’m so very grateful for this apps existence. The only reason I rate it 4 stars is because of the subscription feature. It logs food for you so you know what baby has tried, when they tried it, and if they had a reaction. The problem is with the fact that it constantly logs me out. So now I just log everything myself in my phones Notes. I am glad that I did the free trial before actually purchasing the subscription.

Incredibly helpful!. This app is worth very penny! I knew when my son had intolerances from breastfeeding that we would need to log his solid intake when we started baby led weaning at six months. I am so thankful we found Solid Starts to help us not only track which foods he has tried, but also reactions. This app is extremely helpful in giving the best research based information on allergens, choking hazards, how to serve foods, where foods come from, and even how the food can impact their diapers. I use Solids Starts every day and love being able to quickly search for a food that I'm unsure of how to cut or serve appropriately for my son. It is also helpful to see at a quick glance which fruits and veggies we have had that day/week so we can offer a nice variety. I 100% recommend this app to any parent who is starting solids with their little ones!

Best thing I did for myself and my baby. I have a PhD in developmental psychology. I thought I’d be fine introducing solids to my baby. Nope. I got SO overwhelmed by it, plus my daughter is low in weight %s so I was anxious about her consumption and how to balance solids with formula. I knew the evidence for baby led weaning but not how to implement it and there’s so much junk on the internet. Her daycare teacher told me about this app and the corresponding Instagram account and it completely changed solids for us. My daughter hated being fed purées but now *loves* food and eating with us. This database took all the stress and guesswork out of how to give her every type of food, and took away our anxiety about choking. I recommend it to every parent I know!

Best Reference Guide and Excellent Customer Service. I rarely write app reviews but I feel like this app deserves a review - this is one of the best parenting related apps that I have downloaded. It is well thought out but simple and easy to use. I refer to it often and it is truly a valuable resource. I am so thankful to have all of this information at my fingertips so that I am not trying to google and find a trustworthy source! It is also worth noting that I was having a small technical error regarding adding my child’s profile, so I emailed app support and had a reply in 7 minutes with how to fix the issue. Solid Starts is just excellent all the way around! 👏

They are the best. As a brand new and instant single mom fully isolated for nearly two years during the pandemic (May 2020 babies, hollaaaa) I cannot tell you how invaluable this database was for me when my baby was ready to start solids. The app and database are both gorgeously designed and easy to navigate. Every thing you could want to know about serving your baby nearly any food you can think of is in there. It is truly a wealth of information and it was a total lifesaver! Jenny and her team are the kindest and most thoughtful people and the world is a better and safer place for every baby because of their generosity and tireless efforts. I cannot say enough good things about this organization. Big, huge love. And, more importantly, THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️

THE “Go-To” App for Baby Led Weaning!!. First discovered Solid Starts from their Instagram page. SUCH a wealth of knowledge and loved everything about it, including the founder’s outlook on BLW. We got the all-access pass prior to starting solids and it was SO helpful for our baby’s intro to solids journey. Since they’ve come out with the app, I use it at least 3-4 times a day to investigate how best to serve new (and old) foods to my now 8MO. I especially love that they always break things down including clearly identifying allergens, which is necessary since my little one is allergic to 4 of the common food allergens. Thanks to the app, we’re able to easily avoid those foods, but still be able to serve all kind of fun and nutritious things to our rockstar eater. Thank you Solid Starts and Jenny for helping our family navigate how best to feed our child!

All parents/caretakers need this app!. As a new mom almost two years ago, I got swept up in researching baby led weaning while pregnant and decided that’s what we were going to do when it was time for my son. Well, by the time my son was 6 months old and ready in February 2020, I got nervous. How do I cut these things for him? Any foods to avoid? Do I have to introduce 1 food at a time for a certain # of days to help show allergies? It doesn’t all have to be mushy/purée food? Even with looking into baby led weaning, I still had so many questions and though I love my pediatrician, they gave such outdated information that I wasn’t sure where to turn! Thankfully I found SolidStarts on Instagram (right when they first started!) and that was the support and guidance I needed this whole time! Save to say, my son will be turning 2 this august and is an AMAZING eater. Every time we go to a family members house, out to eat at a restaurant, or even random social media posts, everyone says how they are amazed with how well he eats and I have to give a big THANK YOU to Jenny and all of the team at Solid Starts because this mama would’ve been so lost and confused without all of their information and support! I highly recommend not only this app but checking out their Instagram page too. So many helpful tips and advice and seeing real babies with how and what they are eating. Thank you again Solid Starts! I’ve got one HAPPY eater!

Best app for starting solids!. Has every food you could imagine. So useful with showing how to serve for each age and recipes as well. Plus tells you the nutrition of each food and what to pair it with. Love it so much! Thank you.

Invaluable Resource. The Solid Starts database, guides and social media information sharing are unparalleled in the baby and toddler feeding world. Their team of expert feeding therapists, paediatric dieticians and paediatricians share their knowledge in a way that is easily accessible and easily implemented to a wide range of family food cultures. I will be forever indebted to them for establishing the foundations for a lifetime of happy, healthy eating for my children. I genuinely recommend recommend this resource enough.

Baby food bible. This app is such a great platform when it comes to starting solids with a baby. Even the free version is so informative and well rounded. Every food I have searched so far has been included. The tips on ‘how to serve’ are my favourite as well as the information on what makes that certain food beneficial to health. Awesome app and it’s free, so why wouldn’t you want to expand your knowledge?

Incredible resource. Such a valuable tool especially as first time parents, it’s helped us to not only expose our child to so many new foods and flavours but to begin building foundations for a healthy relationship with food and eating.

New parent essential. This app is an absolute must have as it takes all the stress (but not the mess, sorry) out of transitioning baby from milk to food. An invaluable evidence based resource, which promotes the safest, healthiest, but also practical ways to feed babies/toddlers. If required, they are the life-line for parents of picky eaters, but they also inform on how to avoid picky eating. They really look at the whole child and family to make it as relatable as possible, for example there is helpful guides on high chairs, lunchboxes, how sickness can affect thing, what helps with getting children eating, like they’ve thought of everything. Also, definitely follow them on Instagram for endlessly helpful, supportive and researched based content.

Making your life so much more easier!. Hands down one of the most used apps on my phone. Infinite amount of knowledge and guidance on how to start (and continue!) your child’s solids journey.

Don’t hesitate!. Love this app. This team knows their stuff. Having this trusted, proven resource at my fingertips has made our starting solids journey soooo much less stressful. It’s supportive, inclusive and most of all, potentially life saving thanks to their comprehensive info on safe serving and allergies. ❤️

The most amazing resource. This app is the most incredible resource in helping me throughout our solids journey. My son is almost 9 months old and I’ve been following the advice as he’s gotten older and it is so simple and easy to understand. It takes all the guess work out of solids and is a must have!

Taught me so much. I love the app. It has taught me so much about how to introduce food to my little one. She grew up liking different foods and likes to try new things thanks to the app, which without I wouldn’t have introduced any of the things she’s now eating regularly. Thanks so much for providing the valuable information for free.

Fantastic resource. I recommend for anyone that comes into contact with babies or small children, parents, grandparents, uncles/aunts, friends, Nanny’s, childcare workers - this app has so much free information in it that is all extensively researched and practically laid out. It is so easy to use I wouldn’t want to be without it.

Incredible. I have no idea where I would be without this resource - it’s a total game changer and has made me so much more confident in introducing solids to Bub! I have the subscription and think it’s totally worthwhile, particularly for tracking the intake of allergens.

Flavour pairings!. This app has helped me since the beginning of our solids journey. I love the how to serve function but also when to serve (ages). I think one of the great features that may not be as well known is the recipe section for each food which also includes flavour pairings. This really helped me add herbs and spices to food early to avoid bland food and picky eating!

Incredible resource. The solid starts app is an incredible resource!! I can’t count how many times I’ve checked the app to have confidence in how and what I’m feeding my baby. It’s easy to use, I love the imagery and videos. Have recommended over and over!

Great app but doesn’t load properly. It’s been handy to track what foods my daughter has tried, especially allergens, and how to serve foods correctly for each age group. However, the app takes so so long to load. Leaving me frustrated after purchasing a yearly subscription. Its quicker to search the food on google and look at the solids starts webpage.

Jenny, please know you are an amazing human being. I cannot recommend this app and the whole experience I have had with solid starts enough. As a first time mum I was petrified of intruding solids, I had zero confidence of providing my baby all the nutrients she needed. I have found Jenny 10 months ago, I have followed her advice and no one can believe how well my daughter eats. Literally everything I give her. Thank you so much. You change peoples’ lives. I hope you know that. Sending love from Sydney, Australia.

A must have for any parent. This app is an absolute essential for starting your bub on solids. There is so much information, tips, instructions and even recipes. Highly recommend both the app and the Solid Starts Guides for any new parent!

The best!. I use this app multiple times a day! It is so clear and easy. It’s given me the confidence to start my baby on solids. I love being able to modify any meal we are having to suit my baby at any age. It means we save on leftovers! I often look up whatever I have in my fridge or on my plate when I’m out and serve accordingly. When there’s a million different bits of information out there it can be hard to know what to do but this app makes it easy!

My goto guide for BLW. This is one app I have been using for every single mealtime of my baby since he started solids. Very very helpful for parents doing BLW. Their food database and the age appropriate servings are well thought through. My goto for everything related to solids.

I trust them with anything parenting. My only complaint about Solid Starts is that they only specialize in feeding. They should create identical companies for all things parenting and be my guides for the next 18 years and beyond.

Can’t recommend enough. The Solid Starts app has been a godsend on our solids journey so far. It’s easy to use and so informative. We’ve paid for the year subscription too which is such a bargain and so worth it. I tell all my fellow new moms about it!

Amazing. Jenny and the team are amazing. The information they provide is so helpful and provides the confidence for us mums to feel in control when it comes to introducing food and BLW. I cannot recommend this app and the experience I have had with solid starts enough.

The best!. I have been a Solid Starts follower for over a year now and was thrilled when they created this easy to use app. It has allowed me to confidently introduce solids, based on expert advice (!!) that I never would have sought out or afforded. Thank you so much to Jenny & the team. Given we have a multicultural family, I also love the thought and effort that has gone into reflecting family diversity. Keep up the great work! From a thrilled mum of 2 kids who love real food.

They need a custom foods entry capability. I never write reviews and overall this app is great BUT being an American app they don't have a lot of foods that may be prevalent in other countries. Like lemon grass for example, which we use in a lot of Asian style recipes in Australia. As I use this as a tracker I would be keen for a "custom food" entry area to track ingredients that I've served that aren't the usual American staples.

The Only BLW App You’ll Need!. This app is EVERYTHING! Also, follow Jenny + the team on Instagram for live how-tos and highlights, and stories about food with real babies and families. The app has everything you’ll need but the Insta stories and posts make the content really come alive. The team at Solid Starts is stacked with doctors, swallowing specialists, therapists etc. You can trust the info as it’s backed by current research! The photos are exceptional too!

Life Changing. After spooning feeding and flying blind with my first two kids, resulting in 1 being a severe picky eater, I found Solid Starts with my third baby and it changed everything. I felt confident in how I was feeding him and he is a completely different kid to my other 2 when it comes to food. The advice & guidance with picky eating has also given me a path forward in helping my four year old learn to love food. I can’t recommend this app enough. It’s truly life changing.

Must have for starting solids. Love this app! When just starting solids, I opened it so often. Now we use a lot of recipes from it, and it helps to discover new foods for the whole family!!!

The best app. Definitely a must have for anyone starting their baby on solids Thank you Jenny and the team for this app! Whenever I need to search a food for my son to see how I can introduce it and the appropriate way to prepare it you are there for me I don’t know how to describe how grateful I am for this app!

Crashing and not logging food. This app is great but it constantly crashes and recently stopped allowing me to log food. I paid a yearly subscription to be able to keep track of my baby’s food and I cannot even do that. Please fix or return the money.

The best and only food database you need. This is the best and only food database you need for your baby. Whether you start your baby on blw or purées it caters to all. I love the allergen information and health rating. And love love love the info on how to safely cut and serve food for your baby depending on age. We are still using it a 12 months old. 1000% Worth it. It has made weaning my baby so much easier and so much more stress free

Genuine essential for FTM. As a first time mother, navigating the world of solid foods was more daunting to me than breastfeeding or bottlefeeding. If you’re looking for peer reviewed, scientifically informed information, flexible and realistic goal setting, there is no better resource than Solid Starts. This database and account has made me feel informed, supported, and confident. Even though I’ve not been 100% BLW (made plenty of pureed foods for the first few months) it’s been a keystone reference in our house, and is used almost every day still. Lucky for me, my little one has been an all star eater and shown no signs of allergy, and is nearing 100 foods before his first birthday. Cannot recommend this highly enough to all parents and caregivers.

A game changer. This has been my go-to guide for all food related questions for my daughter as she transitioned to solids. From answering the what questions, to when, how, and how often, this app and it’s associated website has all the answers, along with practical simple recipes and ways to track food and allergen exposures. It’s a must have for parents starting their babies on solids.

No longer reliable. The app was great until their recent big upgrade. Data disappeared and didn’t come back despite promises that it would eventually. Thankfully we had already made it to a year, but it would be nice to still have the data I made the effort to log of our BLW journey. I still try to use the app from time to time to check specific food items I’m unsure of but the app is so glitchy it’s just luck if I’m able to get in or not.

The best. This is truly the best most wonderful app for any parents of a new bub. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t use the app to check some food for my little one. Truly so useful, couldn’t imagine having started solids without it!

Generally a good app but is not working since the last few days. Hi! I really like the app as it helps to track what I have already introduced, and helps plan what I need to. Love the recipes as well. But hate that it has not been working over the last few days. It still isn’t working. Could you please share how this can be fixed? Don’t like the fact that I am being charged for something that doesn’t work. Look forward to hear back from you. Ta

Must have app, not currently working!. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app and it is still only opened for 2seconds and then the app crashes and will not open. What can I do?

Invaluable resource. This app is so incredibly useful and jam packed full of evidence-based information! It has given me so much confidence in introducing solids to my little one. I am so grateful for the Solid Starts team providing their expertise in such an easy to use format.

Amazing food database. Jenny and the Solid Starts team have created something so helpful! I refer to it often from getting recipe ideas to learning the safest way to prepare and cut food for my 7 month old! Not only is the free version amazing but the paid subscription is wonderful for tracking the food your child has tried, how many times they have had it and if they had any reactions! I love the commitment to continually adding to the database, and never being finished until evey food is added!

Fantastic resource. I love the search function and use it all the time. My bub is 6 months old and every time I wonder about a food I pop it in the search box and so much info is readily available, from nutritional value, how to prepare and serve, choking hazards, allergen risks and more. It has made introducing solids using fresh whole foods at home really easy and enjoyable. I am actually so impressed that this is a free resource for parents! Thank you!!!

My go-to!. Brilliant. This app has helped us navigate the transition to solids with ease! We are not strictly BLW, but have given bub soft finger-food from day one of weaning, and I use this app to help us make informed choices about what we offer our baby, and how to do it safely. Haven’t stopped telling friends about it, either! Cannot believe it’s FREE.. thank you, Solid Starts!

If you’re only getting one app for baby this is the one!. I am sooooo grateful that I came across Solid Starts in an overload of information about moving baby onto solids. Evidence-based, home tested applications for SAFE eating with nutritional guidelines, preparation and serving recommendations and tips to minimise food fussiness. My baby eats everything - thank you so very much!

Amazing resource. What an incredible resource. As a first time mum everything can at times be overwhelming, but solid starts makes everything simple to understand and backs it up with real scientific evidence. Love this app and love following along with their Instagram too!

Best parenting ap. The best and most used parenting app on my phone. Well organised, evidence based information which is easy to access. Unlike many other baby apps, this one has no gimmicks, no fear mongering and cites references for the information it shares. Thank you solid starts!

New parent essential!. I’m a FTM and was stressing about the prospect of introducing solids. I first found the solid starts Instagram page and of course had to check out the app, and I love it! Super user friendly interface, easy to search for foods. The ‘how to serve’ is invaluable! I’ve also purchased the all access pass and I have to say, the combination of the 2 is making our starting solids journey so much less stressful and way more fun! Thank you!

An absolute must have!. This app has been such an incredible resource and I am constantly jumping back in to get information about different foods. It helped so much with our confidence around feeding and I recommend it to anyone with a little one. I loved it so much that I bought some of the bundles and they are gold! Amazing recipes and so many helpful resources!

Amazing BLW database. This database is amazing for anyone starting out on feeding their little ones solids via BLW. the free version has so much info incl how to serve (age appropriate) and recipe ideas. Their Instagram also provides some great info/ tips to give parents confidence when introducing new foods to baby.

Would not have survived solids without this!. This is by far the best free app for starting solids in a positive way for babies. It was always at my finger tips and as someone really interested in nutrition and the psychology of instilling a positive association with all food I found the database so broad and detailed. LOVE IT!

Amazing if you could open the app?. I loved this app - subscribed and excited to start baby’s solids journey, but after using once I can no longer access it and after several attempts and notifying the App Store I’m sorry to think I may have to find other ways to track solids :(

Love the database. This app is my go-to tool to check a new food I am about to give to my child. Very informative and easy to navigate. Also I discovered a new guilty pleasure - watching babies eat normal food. I have hours of videos of my daughter trying new foods. And I rewatch them every month or so🙈

Incredible resource. Highly recommended database of baby’s first foods - their nutritional profile, safe serving shapes and sizes for babies as they grow and wonderful recipe ideas. As a first time mum I’ve been using their website every day with my seven month old and it’s great to have this valuable resource in app form. Very user friendly, too.

Brilliant App. The work being done at Solid Starts is truly changing the experience for parents regarding introducing solids to babies and making meal times fun. As a solo parent, the support and access to their services has been greatly valued in our household here in Australia. Thanks Jenny and team x

Add emogi reactions!. The best app from technical side and food info. However for the subscription I wish there was a feature where I could add if she liked it or not (emogi with happy, neutral, or sad face).

Great… at first. I really liked using this app when we first got it a few months back but unfortunately after we updated it there were problems retrieving the food we’d already logged and then finally I couldn’t even open the app at all! Such a shame as it was very helpful to know how to safely prepare food for our 9 month old and log all the foods she’d tried.

Can’t login. Logged me out after the last update and now I can’t log back in. It also won’t let me reset my password to login because it won’t send me the email. What a waste of time.

I use this app everyday!!!. The best app to feed your baby/toddler safely! I always feel reassured knowing I am offering the food in the safest way possible for my growing baby!

Great app. So great for easily referencing how to serve foods. Used it constantly through our BLW journey and I tell all my friends. This one tool lowered my anxiety about BLW by leaps and bounds. ❤️

Awesome app!. This app has been so great in helping me feel less stressed about what/how to serve my son solids. There are great visuals, examples, and even recipes for mum and babe. Love this app!!

Amazing App for baby led weaning. It is so quick and easy to use, and best of all FREE! On the go if you are unsure about a food (nutrition, how to serve, if it’s an allergen) you have it in seconds!

Functions do not work. Paid for this app yet every time I try to log food it comes up with an error, so have been unable to use it. Not impressed.

Waste of money. This app freezes every time I am in the middle of using it. Bummed as I was so excited to use it. Complete waste of money.

Good app but crashes quite often?. The content in this app is amazing! Love the fact that each food has all sorts of information: nutrition info, how to prepare, video of baby eating the food… etc. My only issue is that when I try to log food for the day, it crashes and screen would freeze. Even restarting the app doesn’t help sometimes. Just wish this can be improved. Other than that it’s an really good app, highly recommended!

Indispensable Tool For Partents. I had no idea where to start with food and my first born. The app, and all the SolidStarts downloads + Instagram account, gave me the confidence to do baby lead weaning. I now have a 14-month old who eats like a champ! (And I still come back to this data base for ideas sometime)

Crashing non stop. Has been crashing for the past month and a bit. Driving me crazy. What a waste of money

So helpful!. I love this app and the Solid Starts organization, they are so helpful with baby led weaning, whether you start it from the beginning or later on. This app gives a huge food data base that tells you exactly how to serve individual foods depending on baby’s age and eating ability, and you can track how many foods baby’s eaten, including allergen exposures. I’d love if there was also access to their web articles on this app, but I still give it 2 thumbs up!

So helpful!. This app has been my go to app since becoming a mom and worrying about how to introduce certain foods and how to serve them (portion sizes etc)! It has helped me SO many times and I just love that they created this app for us to use for free!

Could be great. But it keeps logging me out and making me sign back in every time I open the app…why would I want to do that 2-3 times a day when trying to feed a hungry baby?

Good info, crashes too much. This is a great app, I love the info that’s provided, but it crashes way too often.

Keeps crashing since update. pay for this app monthly. Since the new update it crashes alot, it signs me out everytime i open the app i have to sign in, who has time for that everytime you feeding baby? Now it’s not logging anything in. It’s giving error to email support, which i have done countless time(daily) ! People are paying for this app for this nonsense? NOT FAIR!

Slow and glitchy interface. Love the app, however, within the last month or so I’ve noticed the search is very glitchy and slow. If I type in a food sometimes the results will have nothing to do with my query. When I first started using the app the search was dynamic and would actively show results as I typed, but now it only shows once you press search and sometimes I have to press it multiple times.

Meh. Was good when app actually worked. Just keeps crashing anytime you try to open it.

The ONLY resource for feeding your baby. This is the single only and best resource for feeding your baby. I wish it existed with my first so I was better educated. Tech support for the app is beyond fantastic (responded in less than an hour and fixed my issue!). Thank you solid starts!

This App is amazing!. I couldn’t believe how great this app is! The videos helped visualize how to serve the specific food. It’s making baby-led weaning so much easier!!! Thank you thank you!

Helpful Tool. The SolidStarts app is such an incredibly helpful tool. Whenever I’m unsure of how to prepare a food (especially the size) for my little ones, I can look it up. It’s also been helpful for finding nutritional information like what’s high in iron.

Best app. This is the best app if tou start baby led weaning. I can’t believe how useful it is. I absolutely love that it show how to properly serve each ingredient to your baby depending on his age. I also live that I can keep track of what I introduced him to and his reaction. It’s just perfect.

Crashing all the time. Can’t open the app it just crashes all the time. I paid for a subscription too.

BLW bible!!!. I absolutely LOVE this app, it makes baby-led weaning sooo easy! pictures, descriptions, videos, recipes, etc for practically any food you can think of to help prepare it safely for baby!

Worst update to date. The app was INCREDIBLE until the latest update. Now it freezes, crashed and won’t even open properly. I had to cancel my subscription as it was very frustrating. I hope this will improve, the app is simply not usable.

Problems ever since the language update. I used to find this app extremely helpful however since the update there is no point in having a subscription membership as the features I used the most (tracker and filtering for foods untried) no longer work.

It’s all about the money. Almost every single information piece that could be helpful is behind another payment wall, some of which go pretty expensive. I paid 12$ for a year and have no idea what I’m getting except a list of veggies. I was really expecting something and I am so so so disappointed.

Would love to see some more features. Overall the app is great, I don’t have any of the crashing issues that others seem to have had recently, fingers crossed. I would love to see an option to add multiple foods at one time rather than having to search for each food individually or to be able to combine foods that I give together frequently, like a ‘my foods’ options. Eg being able to combine the fruits/vegetables that come in pouches

App keeps crashing. Loved the app when I could actually use it. Nothing but problems with it crashing and then not saving my items etc. should get our money back.

Wouldn’t recommend paying. This app has a really great free database that I reference all of the time. I did pay for the app as I wanted to track my baby’s foods. I am finding that more often than not, the tracker is not working or I am unable to add a new food. I would recommend using the free database, but not paying for the extra tracking feature and just using the notes app on your phone.

Slow, bad user interface. Yes - there are some good features and it’s an easy way to track Baby’s food. However, one would think that a paid app would be more user-friendly. I have plenty of free apps that work faster and more efficiently that this one. I have had to delete and redownload because of an error. When searching a food, I frequently have to tap the search icon twice. Recipes accessed from a food listing cannot be saved or logged (and often not even found under Recipes). In the allergens section of the tracker, I wish you could sort by “tried” and “not tried.” Tapping on your milestones does nothing - I wish it would give you a summary of how you got that milestone. There’s SO much room for improvement with this app, and considering this is an app that many people pay for, there’s no excuse to not improve it.

Great program but the app needs work. I love the ease of information from the program in general - how/when to serve foods, easy recipes, etc. but the app definitely needs work. Every 3 or 4 days the app will crash while opening or in the middle of using. The search function also seems to glitch as sometimes the results will have nothing to do with my search (ie search for dill and it brings up havarti cheese). It also switches between a drop down lost and a picture list which is more-so just inconvenient. The database also is missing tons of foods that you would think should be in there: lasagna, dill, perogies/dumplings. You can send an email to the support team but It seems silly to send an email for just one food item; by the time I have a handful of foods that I think should be in the app I’ve forgotten the previous ones that I didn’t yet send in. It would be useful to have an in-app feedback form where users could submit their problems such as glitches/logging issues/etc and submit food ideas.

Great app. I refer to this app all the time when feeding my kids! It’s such a great quick reference. The app WAS CRASHING but I contacted support and then got back to me IMMEDIATELY with directions on how to resolve it. I recommend this app to everyone feeding kids and babies.

Doesn’t work after recent update. I loved this app and was relying on it to track my baby’s solid progress and use the info to discuss with my pediatrician and dietitian. Now that it keeps crashing and data loss, I don’t feel comfortable putting my time to track foods in the app anymore. I think using Instagram to track is better than this if it’s this unstable still. I paid for annual subscription too. Disappointed.

100% recommend. I’ve been using the app and following solid starts on Instagram for awhile now. I always recommend them. So much useful info. Thank you!!

App doesn’t even open. Keeps crashing as soon as I click the icon to open it

Good tracking app for BLW but constant glitches and issues. Constantly having issues signing in and accessing my favourites list. I had to pay for subscription twice because the thing up and lost my account. Fix it!

Awesome app. Hands down the best app for starting solids. Knowledgeable, well explained, photos, videos! It has given me so much confidence in feeding my baby (and it’s my third child!) I wish I had this app with the other two.

Error message every single time. A good app, with great info and pictures of how to prepare specific foods for specific age ranges, however I get an error message about the app being unable to retrieve my foods every time I open it. Usually I’m still able to use the app and log foods, but as of today, it no longer lets me log any of my daughter’s foods and I worry that if I delete and reinstall, I’ll lose all my logged foods dating back to December. PLEASE FIX!

Makes BLW fun! Super motivating. We have a subscription and track everything! The app is very easy to use and I love seeing our progress. The “try later” feature is great for discovering foods that are new to us and I use it to create our weekly grocery list. Thanks so much Solid Starts for educating us on our BLW journey

Doesn’t work. Can’t enter baby details, won’t save foods. Waste of time and money.

Not easy to use to track. The app is constantly telling me it’s not logged in, or it can’t load my favourites, or it can’t save my food I tried. To look up food and how to serve I find it very helpful, but to log the foods we tried it’s not great

Amazing. It's just so great! So useful and helpful. Thanks to all the team for providing us with all this information.

Great App!. This app is fantastic! It has so much excellent information to help you feed your baby. I refer to it often and wouldn’t have been able to have had such a successful introduction to solids with my baby without the app. I also really really appreciate that it is a free database!

App crashes. Cannot open app. Just crashes immediately.

Crashes since update. I’ve loved this app for my second baby but I have a paid subscription and can’t open it since last update. Please fix soon!

So helpful. This app single handedly supported my daughters introduction to solids! So informative, educational and best of all, easy to use (the best part really as being a parent is already so time-consuming). I recommend it to everyone I know with babies ready to start solids!

Keeps Logging Me Out. The food database is super helpful for baby led weaning. I use it daily. However, I paid to be able to track what foods my baby has tried and the app keeps logging me out and sometimes won’t let me log in, and occasionally won’t save foods I track. I feel like I wasted the money for the subscription because I believe the database is free. Really annoyed and hope they fix the glitches sooner rather than later.

Thank you!. An absolute must have app for anyone starting the solids journey. Such an indispensable resource, thank you!

Being a mom is stressful but feeding our babies don’t need to be. Can’t praise this app/platform enough!! As a first time mom, I had so much anxiety about introducing solids to my daughter when she was about to turn 6 months old. I was afraid she would become a picky eater like my husband. So grateful that I came across this plate form when she was 5 months old and I trusted their recommendation every step of the way. The app was so easy to use and it’s still so helpful and easy to navigate for my now 21 months old daughter. She has been the best eater I’ve seen and she continued to amaze all adults around her. All thanks to this app!

You will reference this over and over. As a first time mom, the information here gave me so much confidence! “They probably won’t choke”, was not enough reassurance for this researcher. This app and collection of resources told me exactly why they probably wouldn’t choke and how to keep that likelihood low. I knew I had the latest research-backed recommendations on what to serve, when, and how to serve it, and what to look out for when serving potential allergens. This is the first (and often only) source I referenced for feeding my girls from 4 months to 14 months!

The. Best. App. For BLW. I had my first daughter May2020 and second October2021. Both are great eaters so far thanks to BLW. The younger had just started solids when my husband and I left them with the grandparents to attend a wedding. My parents were petrified of feeding the baby solids. We had them download this app and walked them through how to use it. The first thing my mom said to me when we FaceTimed to see the girls was how amazing this was as a resource and how confident and comfortable she was feeding them with solid starts as a reference! Thank you thank you thank you for all of your hard work!

Love this app!. I first found SolidStarts on Instagram and it has been my foundation for learning how to feed my baby solids and starting baby led weaning. They put so much time into making sure you feel empowered and that you have the confidence and knowledge when starting food with your baby. They have a ton of recipe ideas. If you type a food into their database on this app, it tells you the best/safest way to serve that particular food to your baby based on their age. My daughter is almost one and I’ve used this religiously since we started solids at 6 months. Thank you SolidStarts!!!

WONDERFUL FOR BLW. FREAKING AMAZING. I would pay oodles for this app just for the sheer amount of research and information that is so easily accessible and user friendly. There is so much useful information with each ingredient (how to prepare for each age, nutrition, warning, allergen information). I also purchased their programs (first 100 days) and couldn’t be more happy with it. It takes the guesswork out of feeding your baby and really enables and empowers both parent and child. Strongly recommend purchasing the program alongside downloading this app as it allows you to track. Recommendation: please add a (+) food button when on the calendar page…this mama forgets to add sometimes!

A Must-Have For Parents. Had I known about Solid Starts with my first child, I would have been using their database and recommending them much sooner! I’ve used the app for my second and it has been a game-changer and life-changer. I love having the specific and safest ways to introduce and continue providing certain foods to my kids. The pictures and video demonstrations are so helpful. I feel much more confident this time around when giving my baby solid foods because they have taught me all the “norms” of baby’s reactions/responses when chewing and swallowing. Thank you, Solid Starts team!

Love Solid Starts!!. I have been following Solid Starts for awhile and just started using everything I’ve been learning from them when my third baby turned 6 months old in April. It has been fantastic! I love their database and clear instructions/videos for each age and stage. I love that I know I’m getting information from actual experts. It’s given me the confidence and knowledge to let my baby try all kinds of healthy and diverse foods that I never did with my other two. I’m so excited they have an app now! I’m already loving it. I have been recommending Solid Starts to every parent out there interested in baby led weaning.

Changed our lives!!. We have a 9 month old and we use Solid Starts as our bible when it comes to feeding our daughter. Now we sit out daughter at the table to eat with us. Just watching her grab food and explore it on her own has been an amazing adventure! Her relationship with food is incredibly positive and It has become one of her favorite daily activities. She literally giggles in excitement when we say “it’s time to eat!”. Last night we had bison burgers, if it weren’t for Solid Start my husband and I would’ve NEVER thought about adding bison to our shopping list. These guides don’t only help picky eating in children, it works for adults too!!!!!

Here’s how I’d pay for Premium. Here’s what would make me pay for premium: 1. In addition to the Favorites heart on a food thumbnail, having a Log icon would be more useful. As a user, a more frequent action of mine is adding foods. Especially as a new user, I am sitting here adding 100 foods from the past and having to open each food page is cumbersome. 2. When logging a new food, please allow me to skip the 3 questions. It’s a pain to have to answer each one every time I add a new food, especially because 90% of my adds are NOT allergens or favorites. I’d love to see a “quick add” feature.

Highly recommend. I love that this app is easy to use for parents. The affordable yearly fee to use the added features of the app is so worth it. However, i love how it’s free and available to those in economic hardships. The information in the app clear and concise. I love the video and pictures the app has in it. It guides parents on how to serve and prep the food for one’s child. I wish I would’ve known about BLW with my first born. I’m grateful to Solid Starts for taking out the stress on figuring out how to do BLW; now I get to apply it to my second born.

Fantastic resource, unreliable tracker. This app is fantastic as a database. I use it all the time with my baby. I had the paid subscription to log food and had issues being able to save my changes. There was always an app error. I tried offloading, checked for updates and restarted phone. As another reviewer mentioned, logging the food is time consuming so I was not going to go back and add if the app did start working. Additionally, I paid for solid starts course. It would be great to have access to those resources in the app, connecting the recipes to the food tracker. I will still use the non-paid app!

Lifesaver! Invaluable!. This app is SO amazing and what’s MOST amazing is that this EXPERT feeding information is FREE! I am just in awe at this team’s ability to make this information so digestible and easy for all families to access. My favorite is the visuals for cutting food based on age - my only hope is that eventually they have those visuals for all the foods in the database, in addition to the written descriptions! But the feeding videos, nutrition information, age recommendations, allergy considerations - all fantastic and SO handy when feeding a baby, toddler, or even bigger child! We love everything Solid Starts does. It’s truly TOP notch.

Must-have app for parents!. I did purées with my first child because I didn’t know of anything else. With my second we started the same path, but she decided she wanted to eat like us and what we were eating. That’s when I found Jenny and the Solid Starts team. They were/are incredible and an invaluable resource for feeding little ones. When they released this app I downloaded it immediately and have used it regularly. My baby is now two and an incredible eater. I tell EVERY new parent I know about this amazing app. THANK YOU Solid Starts for this resource! I’ll forever be grateful for this life-changing app and all of the resources you provide!

Best app on my phone!. Love this app! I literally open it about 5X a day. this takes all the stress and worry about introducing foods to my daughter. as a first time mom, (add in a pandemic) it was hard navigating this stage of motherhood. Choking was something I always feared would happen if I ever let my baby pick up anything other than baby food. But now, 6 months later, my daughter is an amazing eater and I owe it all to the wonderful team of solid starts. for all and every parent out there, this is an app you won’t want to live without!

Must have for new moms!. This is THE app to have. When we first started finger foods, we were using it multiple times a day to check how to serve the food we were already eating. I was so impressed that I recommended it to all of my friends that had babies and were interested and feeding their children whole real food (not purées). As a mom who had trouble with BF and had to supplement formula, this was AMAZING to have because it felt like I could use this to do something right (when the first few months felt like defeat!)

Good concept but poor execution. It’s a shame because they have so much information but it’s all buried under a clunky experience and every step you need to take is made tedious. First off, I’ve never been more confused by a landing screen. I was expecting things like “food to try at 6 month” or something to guide me. Instead were a few empty custom lists and “olive oil” as featured food. So it seems the user needs to have a plan already. The tracker seemed useful so it tried to add yesterdays food. Looks like I can’t add it from the tracker. Off to the food search I go. I then have to answer 3 slides of questions to finally add it. Those three slides have to be answered every single time! If the product is in your favorites it will still ask you every time if you want to add it there. And at the end of the day there’s no great dashboard to see progress, variety of food tries or anything so it just feels like tedious data collection for them. I really see the potential of their resource, but there needs to be some serious restructuring of the app to be made useful.

Revolutionary & Easy to Use. There isn’t another app like Solid Starts! It’s built by mama-professionals who truly care about babies and empowering their caregivers. The plentiful resources are evidence-based and easy to search. The materials strive to be inclusive across culture, economic level, or health needs. (If they don’t have an element yet, they are probably working on it.) They are very responsive to their online community. Many of the resources are free - any purchases go directly to supporting the free food database. I will recommend this to all of my friends & family with kiddos.

Great Info, Glitchy App. The information in this app is wonderful. I feel so confident using this app to guide me and my 6-month old through beginning solid foods. However, I paid for the subscription to be able to log the foods and it has been nothing but glitchy. I’m not able to favorite anything, every time I click something it takes me to the wrong place, and my profile disappeared and it won’t let me save a new one; just keeps saying error all the time. I hate to have to cancel my subscription and use another one to just to log but it’s not worth it if it doesn’t even work!

Just here because I enjoy it so much :). I don’t even have any children of my own yet and won’t for a while, I just love the information being made available to me and everyone else! I also feel as if whenever I do start to have my own family that I’ll be well prepared for their food journey and that excites me. I quite literally just read and absorb all of this information for fun and I just wanted to thank you for even giving my the option and opportunity to do so! My name is Asia ❤️ hopefully I can have a solid starts baby being featured on the Instagram stories in a few years too.

My favorite app. I have literally never left a review on an app before but solid starts has given me so much confidence as a new mom during our feeding journey that I felt it necessary to share with other moms. My son is now almost 1 and has tried over 90 foods on the database! The app is incredible helpful with sharing safe ways to prepare food for each age and includes some easy recipes (I’m a terrible cook and I still think they are easy!). I am so so happy that I discovered this program before we started solids!! I tell every new mom that I know about solid starts. Thank you to the solid starts team for all you have done!

The best resource for parents of littles. I have been a follower of solid starts since my youngest was an infant and now as a mom of two children under three, I can say that this app and the solid starts team have been the single most critical resource for me in learning the best way to safely and successfully feed my children. The app is so easy to use and tells me exactly how to cut foods appropriately for my infant and also offers great inspiration through recipes and filtering on new foods to try. Thank you solid starts team!

Amazing, practical resource. As a new mom, Solid Starts has been an invaluable resource to get my little one’s journey with food started in a really positive way. The easy, practical tips and having everything at my fingertips with the app has been wonderful and made learning to cook for and eat with our daughter a fun adventure. It answered all my questions - even ones I didn’t anticipate yet. This resource was even more valuable for me as I started solids for my daughter at the height of the pandemic - this app and the SolidStarts community made me feel supported and confident in the choices I was making.

Great app when it works. I love how informative this app’s database is on how to prepare foods for different ages and alerts you to choking risks. The tracker is a great option too for easily keeping track of what foods have been given to your baby and keeping track of allergic reactions. They recently updated their app and it wasn’t working for me. I reached out to their app support and they were able to direct me as to how to fix the issue with their latest update. Thankfully it worked and my saved data was not lost. Thank you!

LOVE this app!. So so thankful for this app and the solid starts team! I recommend it to anyone I know that is starting solids with their babes. I will admit I use this app almost obsessively (as well as the Instagram page and blogs)! It is so helpful with how to prepare and serve foods based on age. I like that there is a recipe for each new food, too, I have learned some new ways to prepare my own favorite foods too! Also love that they provide reassurance around gagging vs choking, basically any information you could need regarding feeding your little.

Great app but some annoying features. This app does amazing things. I LOVE that you can track and keep a count of new foods, foods to try and any reactions baby has had. Loving the tips for how to prepare and what to watch for with choking hazards. BUT! It is incredibly annoying that it logs me out what seems like every 2 hours. Everytime I open the app i need to re login. And when there is an update on the app it forces you to update now and you can’t use it until you do. Sometimes I just need to quickly check how to best give a food item to my LO and the extra steps take too long. Would be great if you had Face ID set up to at least fix that issue.

The best quick reference guide out there. Honestly this app was sooo crucial to me the first few months starting solids. I knew I wanted to attempt to feed my daughter what we were eating and it was so nice to be able to quickly look up the food i was preparing and have the information I needed to know how to prepare and serve it safely to my little one. It gave me so much confidence in knowing we were putting our best food forward in this journey. Couldn’t thank the solid starts team enough for working so hard on this resource.

Has lightened our load. A really amazing program. Some starts and stops with tech at first but this has been solved by helpful admin. Solid starts Has helped us first time parents navigate - save time- and introduce our LO to foods and recipes we wouldn’t otherwise think of. Really wonderful - absolutely worth the fee. Lots of recipes are actual time savers as well and I have not found any other info as well presented as here- trying to google BLW recipes is just a headache!! And it’s all the same and some of the recipes are just OFF or totally not good for a child - this program solves all those issues.

This App Changed My Life. As a first time mom I had no idea what to expect or do when it came to starting my baby on solids. This app and all the information Solid Starts provides has given me so much confidence, even when my baby had a choking scare I knew exactly what to do, again thanks to Solid Starts. At a year old she had tried 75 foods and we’ve kept them all in pretty good rotation. It feels great to not be buying to the baby food market when she’s been perfectly capable of eating the meals we eat. We recommend this app to every parent, first time or not.

This app is essential to all parents/caregivers!. This guide was and remains an essential reference tool for our family. Learning how to cut and serve new foods to our first child gave us the confidence we needed to embark on the solid foods journey, and we still reference it even now and he just turned two. With the birth of our baby girl recently, we know we have at least one thing covered as we move into a new comfort zone as a family of four—we know exactly where to go, what to do, and who to ask when we want to introduce solids.

So grateful we found Solid Starts!!. I’ve been using Solid Starts since my daughter turned 6 months old (she just turned 1 yesterday!). The app makes it so easy to track foods we’ve tried (perfect for pediatrician visits!) and gives me peace of mind when we’re out and want to try something new (I just open the app and check how to best serve for her current age). The recipe for her birthday smash cake from them- apple beet pink one- was so easy and a hit w her! We’ve tried 75+ foods now and I’m amazed she ate mushroom ragu for her birthday dinner- all bc we trust the program and gained confidence ourselves!

Must have!. I was fortunate enough to start solids just as this app came out. I cannot sing enough praises about it. There is so much support and a sense of community, and I did not feel alone on this journey towards feeding my baby solids. From allergies to choking and gagging, this helped to ease so many of my concerns and I felt prepared. The free database is amazing. It’s full of nutritional info, how to properly serve solids to babies depending on their age/development, and a simple recipe that follows. After using this app for three months, I finally purchased the all-access pass for their guides and webinars online. I’m so glad I did. I highly recommend this app!

Super helpful but clunky. There are so many things I love about this app and I really encourage all parents and caregivers to download it. It lets you know what foods are safe and how to prepare foods appropriately based on age. I consult it every time I make a meal for my baby. My one complaint is how difficult it is to log foods into the tracker, particularly because this is a paid feature. I wish there was an add button right on the foods as you search or a way to search and quick add within the tracker itself. Other than that, it’s an incredible resource and I truly thank its creators!

So much knowledge!. I cannot begin to express how much Solid Starts has helped me and my little one with infant feeding. I follow them on Instagram and have developed so much knowledge and confidence in teaching my baby how to eat solids from the start. I absolutely love their philosophy on food. The app has been a wonderful tool to use daily to keep track of the foods he has tried, but most importantly, looking up how to safely prepare each food at my fingertips has been so helpful! Thank you Solid Starts team for this wonderful resource and for helping my baby become a foodie!

Solid starts has helped me and my babe tremendously. Ever since I was pregnant with my babe in the core of the pandemic, I was very anxious about the minimal social support since my family was too far away to travel. My main worry was I knew nothing about what to feed my baby when she is good to start solids. Solid starts supported me and gave me the courage to serve my baby real foods. I am now very confident to take my babe anywhere without thinking of what she would eat. She is now 13 months old and eats the same exact food like us. We don’t have to cook diff meals, which makes our lives so much less chaotic!

Hasn’t worked for 2 months. I have been emailing support since last month about not being able to log in. The app continues to be faulty and not work at all. The whole point of the app is to make tracking their food easily accessible and it just doesn’t work. Instead of passive aggressive comments, their customer service should offer a real solution - like refunding the subscription fee but allowing us to keep the subscription. Instead all I get are rude, passive aggressive comments and no solutions. Just kind of tired of the back and forth. It’s ridiculous that the app has failed after so many updates that seemingly make the app even worse. Don’t recommend at all. I actually feel terrible that I told my friends to get the app

Most helpful resource for feeding baby!. We love Solid Starts and have relied on them for feeling comfortable and confident when feeding our baby. All of their resources, from their guides to Instagram to app, are based in research and real life experience. This app shows you age appropriate ways to cook and cut food for baby so you can safely feed baby and help them to cultivate a positive relationship with food. I used this app on a near daily basis beginning when my daughter was 6 months old, she is now a thriving 16 month old who is an adventurous eater. I could not be more grateful for the Solid Starts team!

Look no further. Been using this app and following their products since before my babe was 6mnths. This app is such a great tool to have at your finger tips. You have somewhere to not only input the meals and any reactions they may have but also educate yourself in how to safely prepare them by age. There’s tabs for each food item where you have videos, recipes, and recommendations for foods that compliments each one. I’ve been using this app for over 15 months now and I use it for more than I thought I would. I am a first time mother and without this blw journey wouldn’t have been as smooth. I highly recommend it.

Amazing company! Excellent resource app. Solid stars is an incredible company with an amazing mission. Whether you need info on feeding for your first kid or your fourth, they have everything you need to know. How to cut food, when to introduce, allergens how to prepare and recipes. All of it is backed by pediatric specialists (think GI, feeding, speech etc). There is a log which I only used casually to keep track of how many different foods baby tried. If you have a family history of allergies and need to keep a close watch on different foods the log may be more desirable to you.

Every day is a Solid Starts day!. I found Solid Starts when I was pregnant and counted the weeks until my little one was 6-months old and ready to begin solids. What could have been anxiety-ridden, has become an eating adventure, not only for my daughter, but for the extended family and visitors to our home thanks to the attention to detail, carefully curated menus and step-by-step instructions on how to feed a new eater. I have NO idea how they make it all happen. Jenny and the team are amazing. I thank them every single day for this app and the Solid Starts program.

Paid version - won’t save logged foods. The free resources on this app are very helpful. The food directory, how to prepare, and safety information are valuable information that I reference daily. I paid for the app to have access to the food log and to track what foods and allergens by baby has tried. Unfortunately my profile doesn’t always save everything. For example, yesterday it showed that she has tried 15 foods and today it says 0, everything I had logged has disappeared. I tried to re-add some of the food and now it won’t save at all, still showing has tried 0 foods. Not happy that the only feature of the paid version doesn’t even work.

Best New Nom Resource!. This has been an absolute game changer! I was completely lost in how to introduce food to my daughter. My grandparents and parents kept talking about cereal and baby food, but her pediatrician mentioned you guys and I ran with it! She turned 6 months old this week and we’ve already logged 4 new foods. The pictures and advice on sizing/preparation are incredible! I even purchased the whole package because it truly gives me so much ease. THANK YOU! -From a first time mom who doesn’t second guess herself (as often) anymore!

Required learning for new parents and caregivers!. I’m a huge fan. Before starting solids, I bought the course and found the videos and guides incredibly helpful (also asked my nanny to watch them!) Feeding my baby wasn’t stressful, because I felt prepared and understood what to expect (particularly learning that gagging ISNT choking was HUGE for me and took a lot of anxiety away from solids). My 11 mo old is a happy, confident eater and I’m happy knowing he is building the skills to set up good and healthy eating habits. I use the resources daily and super appreciate how thorough and well-researched everything is. Cut through the noise on how to feed your baby and stick with solid starts!

A huge confidence boost!. As an anxious mama with a baby who was medically complex at birth, I really struggled with fear and uncertainty around BLW, even though it is data-driven and research supports the guiding principles. Finding Solid Starts was a game changer! This app gives me one reliable trusted place to check for how to safely introduce and serve foods. We started using it very early on and while we’ve now fallen away from tracking all of our baby’s foods (he’s almost 1 year old), we still use it daily to make sure that we’re serving food in safe ways and developmentally appropriate shapes. If you, too, are committed to BLW in your head but nervous in your heart, this app is a great resource!

Missing something. I wanted to try this because BLW can be overwhelming. At first I thought it was a great way to track which food my baby has tried and note any reactions. However, I didn’t really like the recipe options. There are plenty of recipes but I couldn’t filter through all of them to see which ones were appropriate to give my 6 month old. A lot of them just say 6+ but not every ingredient is acceptable and there’s no way of filtering through unless you go through each recipe and each ingredient. It just wasn’t what I was looking for. I wanted a guide and this just wasn’t it for me.

SolidStarts changed the way my family eats!. I cannot rave enough about SolidStarts. I had no idea about anything regarding baby’s solids. When my LO turned 6 months, I found SolidStarts and they have made everything less scary, accessible, and fun! Our family is having so much fun trying new foods together, introducing the babe to every taste and texture we can find. The app and database make it easy to explore and try new things, knowing how to serve it, the nutrition data, and if there are any allergen concerns. I LOVE SolidStarts. I truly don’t know how anyone starts solids with their babe without it.

Thank you Solid starts. I have been trying BLW for 6 months now and we have reached a stage where my son is able to feed himself . There was a time when he would not even touch the food , let alone eat it . I continued to offer with no pressure , followed all the tips from Solid Starts and finally the hard work is starting to pay off . Thank you solid starts . I feel there is light at the end of the Tunnel after all. We are still working on consumption , but to know that my son is able to feed himself is a big relief .

An irreplaceable resource for first time parents!. I genuinely don’t know what I would do without all the Solid Starts resources, but especially this food database that is completely free! As first-time parents, my husband and I struggled with anxiety about our baby choking, having allergic reactions, etc., and Solid Starts has helped us gain confidence. Our almost-10-month-old is eating like a champ, we feel good about his eating skills and our food preparation choices, and I look up foods in the database almost daily. Thank you, Solid Starts team!

Incredibly helpful!. I can’t rave enough about the content provided by Solid Starts! The food database + educational content on the blog have been incredibly helpful to us introducing solids as first time parents. My one recommendation for the app is that I wish it offered a space for a running log of foods tried (similar to the Favorites or Try Later sections). Having to track each individual day and click through the calendar for an inventory is a pain, so I’ve just been logging foods on the first time tried and adding them all as Favorites to access a running list. It would be so nice if when adding to the calendar a food automatically populated to a Food Log or Foods Tried list.

Thank you!. I have never written a review for an app before but I want to support Jenny in ANY way possible because the way she is doing has supported me tremendously. I feel confident in my ability to feed my baby solids because of Jenny, because of the Solid Starts team and because of the app. It’s FREE, easy to use, and provides you with a trove of knowledge. Also, I absolutely love the diversity in food that lives in this database. I can’t wait for more to be added! I recommend this app to literally everyone I know who has a little one. Also, you should follow them on Instagram for even more gems!! Keep doing this amazing, necessary work!

Gotchya!. The information on this platform is great and very helpful, however, I just felt like the app itself did not provide enough interactivity or personalized information to warrant the subscription price. I had a kiddo with tongue tie and lip tie issues, and starting solids was a very nerve-wracking experience for us. But as they progressed developmentally I just found the app was not helpful for us and overall I felt like I wasted my money. Would’ve have much rather paid for the months we used the app and had the option to opt-out and cancel the subscription— but since there was only one annual subscription option I really felt like this was a “gotchya” scheme and they are taking advantage of new parents.
