What Our Community Says

Thank you so much for everything you’ve created here! It’s truly amazing! I got a lot of family questions for approaching eating with my daughter using Solid Starts. People are so used to purees and anything new can be scary. But my daughter is now 11 months old and she eats what we eat and she tries everything and it’s just been amazing. Thank you for the revolution!

Solid Starts is a game changer for me. Feeding my babe is just simply providing him food. No more power struggles, “baby food” and it’s LIBERATING

- Nadila

Solid Starts changed the food game! We literally went from a nightmare to actually enjoying food!

- Jennifer

What you have done is amazing, a game changer worldwide and the only way I made it to today without becoming a nervous wreck over food. Our now 19m old was very slow on solids but your videos continue to remind me to stay the course on family meal time.
