  Great for starting solids

  Loved this app my first baby and using it again for my second. It’s so scary to know how to serve foods and what foods to serve your baby. Their chart on how to cut the food for what age group is literally a life saver and gives you so much confidence giving your baby new food!

  Paywall

  Beware everything is behind a paywall. Kind of tired of the baby industry trying to make a buck off nervous first time parents around every corner. Anyone who spends $20 a MONTH on this is throwing away their money.

• ★★★★★Roinenfae

  Must have!

  Reference this all the time for baby led weaning! Highly recommend.

  Great App for the first years

  This has been such a reliable resource in helping both my kids safely try new foods and given us many ideas on how to serve and challenge them.

• ★★★★★BLS_1115

  An absolute must 🙏🏼

  This app gave us the confidence to jump right into baby led weaning. It's super user friendly and simply tells you how to serve foods at every age. There are recipes and videos that really helped us through our journey. Our son is such a confident and great eater. We have this app to thank !!

  Overall Very Helpful, but the tracking needs reworking

  Overall, Solid Starts has a wealth of helpful information about baby led weaning. I especially like the visuals for how the foods can safely be served at each age. My only struggle with the app is tracking. I try to use the meal plan part, but sometimes, I just ended up serving a food, not a meal and wish there was a way to input that. Also, when introducing allergens, I wish it would count on the badges as soon as I introduced it, but it only counts when it gets served at the time it gets suggested as a meal, which is only once a week. If I went at that pace, it would take forever to introduce all the allergens and the upkeep for them. I wish the tracking was more condensed, simplified, or at least offer more flexibility. The calendar tracking is unfortunately not easy to check what food was served at a glance too.

  Help

  I’ve been using this app since April and I’ve really enjoyed it. However, today I tried opening the app and all of my data got erased. I’m hoping someone can restore this.

  Worth The Hype and The Money Spent!

  We bought this app when my son turned 6 months and it has been SO helpful introducing him to solid. I appreciate the ability to see a food at the store and search the app in real time to see if it’s something he can have. I definitely recommend it to anyone considering the app!

  Overpriced

  I don’t recommend buying the subscription. It’s literally $100 for information that I could easily find by googling, asking my pediatrician, or buying an $8 baby-led weaning book. I forgot to cancel after the free trial and so was charged for a year’s subscription, but I figured it might be worth it. Unfortunately, I can’t say that it was. The app is also kind of slow and clunky. I did not find the plans, etc., particularly easy to navigate, for instance, if I wanted to skip over something I’d already introduced. I’m not sure if the free version of the app allows you to look up how to serve the different foods by age, but that was the only feature I really used and again could have looked that info up for free (and used my instinct after a couple months). I actually wish they would at least make the subscription monthly because by about 3 months into solids, I had absolutely no need of it.
