Solid Starts Reviews 151

The app was amazing for starting out. I love how the directions for each individual food are laid out. Also love that I can search for recipes.

What I hate about this app:
1. How you progress through allergens: I’d like to be able to select the allergen we want to introduce next.
2. How the recipes for progressing through allergens are held hostage until you mark the step before it as completed. I’d like to be able to review the recommended recipes and ways to prepare the food ahead of time so when I’m meal planning and grocery shopping for the week I can prepare accordingly.

Really awesome except the video learning experience...it's not optimized, can't make it full screen, couldn't pause, it didn't keep track of where I was so I had to restart from the beginning several times since I was trying to learn while breastfeeding. At least I got help and now I can pause them, but I only had 2 videos left...at the price we pay, it should be functioning from the get go.

-The introduction of allergens is glitchy
-The app isn’t very intuitive at times and can be annoying to use
- would be nice to have suggestions on how to make what I’m already eating suitable for baby rather than providing separate recipes that I have to make separately

I love the app, but it expensive. I won’t be able to have the full app for long.

This app has helped me feel confident with starting solids with my baby. I’m an anxious person but the information on the app makes me feel confident and capable. I love being able to look up how to prepare different foods safely (especially with all of the pictures and videos). I love being guided through introducing allergens.
My only feedback is that sometimes the feature to log foods and reactions can be a little buggy.

This app has helped me take the guessing out of starting BLW with my little one. So many easy ideas of ways to serve foods to our baby girl. Love that it will even make you a shopping list.

I'm having issues with logging food and tracking allergens. I paid $75 and navigating this should be easier.

The recipes are helpful.

The content in this app is amazing. I am learning so much and as first time parents who were terrified of our baby choking, the app and content has been so helpful in easing our worries. I love that every food item has information on how they can safely be served by age, and shows videos of kids of different ages eating them. It eases your worries when you see that loads of kids gag and cough and they're absolutely happy and fine.

So yeah, content wise it's fantastic and I'm so happy with the pro version.

I'm deducting one star because i find the app unintuitive to navigate and logging foods quite burdensome, so I don't really use it for that. I love the recipes, blogs and food database, but I don't find it user friendly enough to be able to use all the features. Thankfully I don't really see the point in logging food anyway, so I don't mind.

The app is a little glitchy and records some foods/allergens we have introduced in one place but then it won’t show up in another area. The information is great and super helpful though for how to serve at each age.

Love the guide itself. Won’t let me track the food I give. Says error. But overall a great app.

This app is awesome. I love that it breaks down how to safely serve food to your baby by age. I also love how it gives you recipe ideas and the videos and pictures are so helpful!

It’s amazing! Anytime I want to serve something I quickly check the app to see how I need to cut it for her age. So much help with knowing if the meal I’m offering is iron rich.

As a first time mom - Not only having access to the food database , the introduction to allergens and access to articles (choking v gagging was a game changer for me) gives me peace of mind to help my baby explore and learn about something we both love - food

My favorite feature by far is being able to look up any item and see how to serve it. It’s much more interactive than it used to be when I used it with my son. I love all the guides and resources. My daughter has food allergies and this has been very helpful in tracking what we have tried and her reactions to it. It is also helpful in knowing what I need to introduce and ideas on how to do it.

You can’t put that a baby has an allergy on his profile to stop recommending recipes with that allergen

Not worth the $99 in my opinion. I should have signed up for monthly payment. Wish I could get a refund….

It’s really easy to find new foods I’d like to try with my baby and see how I should best prepare them for her. There are great meal ideas and I appreciate the safety tips with the individual food. There are several recipes she loves. I like the tips as well. I think the food-logging could use some improvements. When I look at a recipe, make it, and go to log it, if I modified it at all, there no way to document that in the app. I also found it challenging to go back and edit foods she tried (if the food(s) weren’t quite right or to change a date) after logging.

The app is very difficult to navigate and log food. Oftentimes I will log my child’s entire meal, hit next, and it only saveds one ingredient.
Articles are difficult to find as well. I can find Solid Starts online, but when I search in the app, they do not appear.
The app does include great information on how to serve a variety of foods to your little one, but needs a bit of work on the interface.

This app is great. I was really nervous about starting solids but I knew I wanted to do BLW because so much data shows that it is best for kids. Solid Starts is so clear, detailed, and encouraging that I felt so much more confident! It's tough being a first time parent these days with no moms and grandmas around daily to help show young parents what to do and what to expect. Solid Starts helps fill that gap. The detailed meal recipes, photos and videos of how to prepare foods for baby, and nutrient info is so helpful! The safety information is thorough and clear without feeling panic-inducing. My baby had a big gag with vomiting, which was scary, but because of the videos and descriptions in the app it felt familiar and I knew she was safe and that I would know if she needed my help.
