Highly recommend this app!! As a first time mom navigating BLW, this app has been such a game changer! I use it daily as my go-to guide for introducing foods safely and confidently. The database is incredibly detailed, with clear visuals, preparation tips, and advice that makes me feel reassured every step of the way. I love how easy it is to search for foods and learn about allergens. This app has taken the guesswork out of feeding my baby and made mealtimes more enjoyable. I highly recommend to any parent starting their BLW journey! — App Store Review

You three have helped so many people. I think it could be tough to fully grasp the true impact. My second refused all food until about 14 months at which point he wanted to just go for it with 'real food' and I'm so glad I was prepared after finding solid starts late in the game with my oldest. I actually had to coach our OT through her anxiety around BLW. Thanks for all that you've done and continue to do!! — Instagram Message

So helpful! We didn't do baby led weaning exactly as they describe, but we did a combination of purées and BLW with great success thanks to this app and their recipe books. The app is an incredibly helpful a reference if you are unsure how to serve a new food, need recipe ideas to increase your toddlers food exposures, or just need ideas for dinner! — App Store Review

You are the reason my second eats anything & everything at 3.5 years old. He truly enjoys food. Thanks to you I had the knowledge & courage to safely offer him everything we ate from baby on. It made food so much fun for us! I can't thank you enough for the gift that Solid Starts is — Instagram Message

App store: Amazing app for BLW!! Have used this app for two little ones. Amazingly easy to use. Love that you have the ability to search any food in database and it shows variety of info including how to serve depending on babies age. It allowed me to do BLW with so much confidence. Definitely recommend — App Store Review

App store: Love this app! This app was so incredibily helpful as a first time mom and now is my second child due less than three weeks. I will still use this to feel confident in what to serve my baby and how to serve food to them. This made me feel so much more confident when starting salads and I would recommend this to anybody — App Store Review

You'll probably never see this message. But your Instagram helped guide my decisions around food introduction with my now 4 year old. Last night we went out for dinner, at a Mediterranean food truck (we had planned at a taco truck, but it wasn't at the music venue we had planned). I ordered a couple entrees, and my 4 year happily dug into the roasted Med veggie quinoa salad. Eating the heavily spiced zucchini, button mushrooms, and all. What a gift to have kids that made my foodie heart get to share the joys of good food with them so easy — Play Store Review

My most used app! This app helped so much as we were introducing food, thank you. There so much info with each food with how to prepare and nutrition that it also felt like a nutrition class, the one we probably should have in junior high! I recommend it to everyone! I miss using it now that my child is older — App Store Review

Hi Jenny, I no longer follow Solid Starts because we've graduated and conquered the food world! My son is now 4 and the best eater!! He will try anything. His spice level is higher than a lot of adults I know. He can ask for a squeeze of lemon, hot sauce, ranch. His whole pallet preferences that he can articulate. Thank you for all the content and support. We still can't get him to eat mashed potatoes, but hey! If that's it... I'll take it — Play Store Review

My 2.5 year old stole my entire salmon filet when we went out for dinner Friday. I blame Solid Starts for this. Lol — Instagram Message
