(App) SolidStarts Real Food for Baby
Everything you need to know about introducing real food to babies with baby-led weaning or within a transition from spoon feeding to finger foods.
App Features :
Learn how to safely introduce more than 200 foods to baby. Each food has detailed nutrition information, choking & allergen guidance, specific instructions on how to cut and serve the food based on baby’s age, videos of real babies eating the food, a unique recipe, and more.
Better yet, every food’s entry has been written and reviewed by a team of doctors, feeding specialists, swallowing specialists, and dietitians. Quickly search for a food (eggs, chicken, strawberries, anything!) and feel confident in exactly how to prepare it for baby.
With a paid subscription, you can record baby’s progress with a digital food log, track baby’s favorite foods, make a list of foods you’d like to try later, and track any foods baby has had a reaction to which you can share with doctors and caregivers.
This app will be a crucial tool to help you to raise a healthy, happy eater, avoid picky eating, and enjoy family meals!

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with looking into baby led weaning, I still had so many questions and though I love my pediatrician, they gave such outdated information that I wasn’t sure where to turn!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!

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.
