I was getting an error and wouldn't track foods but the app developers helped and it's working now. So far I enjoy looking up foods and getting help with how to feed. It would be great if each food had pictures of how to serve foods based on age and a list of foods that haven't been tried. Also there are some missing grains like orzo, farro, etc... Overall worth the yearly membership

I cannot say enough good things about solid starts. My 19 mo has tried over 175 different kinds of food, has a regular rotation of about 100 foods a week and is not afraid to try new foods. Jenny and her team above truly built something incredible and continue to add to it day by day. It's completely worth the yearly subscription, so you can track food, allergic reactions, add notes, etc. I think it's like $10. I bought it the DAY it came out and renewed my subscription this year, too!

This app has been so amazingly useful! It's so easy to search, and there's usually a recipe with each food which has been so helpful when I'm looking to introduce a food I'm not even familiar with. It's also given me confidence in my babies' ability to eat as it breaks down how to prepare each food by age range so that it's safe for their eating ability. Being an app also means I can easily access the database while I'm grocery shopping!
