Solid Starts Reviews 151

Great information but found it difficult to navigate. I saw an option to “make a list” and option to add “foods to try later” and “favorites” but I don’t know what difference in use is, and I can no longer even find the “make a list” option I saw. The movies do not play in guides. And It’s disappointing that you can’t add singular foods to the meal plan. For those of us just starting out I’d love to plan my week with what singular food I’d like to introduce him too. It only allows for meals with more than 1 ingredient to be added. Idk just seems more complicated than it needs to be.

The app is great but needs three things:

1. Option to track multiple children
2. More reading guides instead of audio ones
3. Print option for some of the guides

Very helpful to find meal ideas and know how to serve foods. Trainings and schedules were also super helpful and made the process of starting solids less daunting.

Great for first time parents. Need more non-western meal ideas. Would be better to have more asian meal ideas suitable for asian household.

Sections of the app are poorly coordinated - you log a food but it doesn’t show up as having been tried in another section of the app (esp important with tracking allergens). I also find it to be difficult to use as a true step by step guide. There should be a section that takes the guesswork out of building the weekly meal plan for example

Love this app and team! So resourceful and an essential for parents!

This app is so helpful and reassuring for parents starting their babies on solids. Even as a second-time mom, I like to check before serving every new food. There are so many great tips and ideas to try that I would not have known otherwise!

Very good app for BLW, very informative and helpful for parents for how to serve dependant on age and tracks food

I kind of feel like I paid $100 just to get a basic meal recorder and it's not even that easy to use. I entered "dumpling" and then I had to manually also enter pork, ginger, etc to actually capture ingredients. It hasn't made understanding and planning allergens any easier at all

The app is not very intuitive and I have a really hard time using the meal planning feature, which was the biggest reason I wanted the app. It doesn't seem to remember what meals/foods I've already "tried", and it keeps bringing the same ones up to try. The tracker is very click-heavy, and it seems like I have to choose the date two or three times on different screens before it "sticks" and records what I've tried correctly. I do appreciate the way it lists ingredients needed and how to prepare the meals, as well as how to cut up different foods for different ages. Just not a very user-friendly app, in my experience.

Firstly, I should be able to share the subscription with other primary caretakers. I am not the only person who feeds my baby, as I work FT. Needing to have a huddle around what he ate, when, reactions, what the plans are for the week just makes it a burdensome tracker.

The "Allergens 101" doesn't have an active link to the Introducing Peanut tracker, which I thought came with the subscription. What also doesn't come with the subscription? "20 Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Child in the First Year."

Should have bought one of the handful of books & manual trackers. Absolutely wish I did not pay for this.

I am not getting past the

Very useful information for first time parents, prsented in a nice and easy way.
Really cool recipes. I totally recommend it! 🤍

I enjoy the "how to serve" option the best! It's nice to have guidance starting solids as a first time parent. The recipes have come in handy and it's nice to be able to track what my baby has already tried. I have not been able to figurw out how to view my notes on what he has eaten though.

The clarity of the information, the easy to follow guides, and the thoughtful order of introduction! It has made the scary part of introducing solids less stressful!

This app has saved me so much stress. As a ftm I have needed a lot of guidance and the solid starts app has given that to me!

It’s informative but maybe a little glitchy. I keep marking that baby has tried certain foods but it doesn’t mark them as tried. Also I wish it was easier to find how to serve top allergens. I had to click on a bunch of things before accidentally finding recommendations for serving eggs for the first time. I wish I could just click on the list of allergens that is shown on the main page. Maybe it’s a glitch and it’s just not working for me idk🤷‍♀️ considering i paid, i don’t find it to be super intuitive. I wish i hadn’t paid

App navigation issues aside, I do appreciate that once I find what I need, steps to serving baby are clear. I trust the advice given on the app.

I want to be able to search by food baby can eat by their age.
