Solid Starts: Baby Food App

A practical guide to starting solids

Solid Starts: Baby Food App is made for parents introducing babies to solid foods, whether they are trying baby-led weaning, moving on from purées, or combining both approaches. The app focuses on the everyday questions that come with early eating: which foods to offer, how to prepare them, and how to serve them safely for a baby’s age and abilities.

Food-by-food guidance

Its database covers more than 400 foods, with information on nutrition, common allergens, choking considerations, and age-appropriate preparation. Serving suggestions explain how to cut and present foods, while videos of babies eating provide a useful reference for parents who are still learning what early self-feeding can look like.

Plans, recipes, and progress tracking

Parents can work through a guided first-food journey, find meal ideas for babies and toddlers, and browse recipes for family meals. The app also includes guidance on readiness for solids, introducing allergens, cup drinking, and infant CPR. A food log helps record what a baby has tried, note favourites, save foods for later, and track reactions or sensitivities that may be useful to discuss with a doctor or caregiver.

For parents who want a reference at mealtimes

The content is developed with input from pediatricians, feeding and swallowing specialists, an allergist, and a dietitian. That makes this a reference tool rather than just a recipe collection. With a 4.84 rating from 20,479 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs, Solid Starts is an established choice in the Parenting category. It is published by Solid Starts.
