Ratings and Reviews
Genuine essential for FTM
As a first time mother, navigating the world of solid foods was more daunting to me than breastfeeding or bottlefeeding. If you’re looking for peer reviewed, scientifically informed information, flexible and realistic goal setting, there is no better resource than Solid Starts. This database and account has made me feel informed, supported, and confident. Even though I’ve not been 100% BLW (made plenty of pureed foods for the first few months) it’s been a keystone reference in our house, and is used almost every day still. Lucky for me, my little one has been an all star eater and shown no signs of allergy, and is nearing 100 foods before his first birthday. Cannot recommend this highly enough to all parents and caregivers.
New parent essential
This app is an absolute must have as it takes all the stress (but not the mess, sorry) out of transitioning baby from milk to food. An invaluable evidence based resource, which promotes the safest, healthiest, but also practical ways to feed babies/toddlers. If required, they are the life-line for parents of picky eaters, but they also inform on how to avoid picky eating. They really look at the whole child and family to make it as relatable as possible, for example there is helpful guides on high chairs, lunchboxes, how sickness can affect thing, what helps with getting children eating, like they’ve thought of everything. Also, definitely follow them on Instagram for endlessly helpful, supportive and researched based content.
Amazing food database
Jenny and the Solid Starts team have created something so helpful! I refer to it often from getting recipe ideas to learning the safest way to prepare and cut food for my 7 month old! Not only is the free version amazing but the paid subscription is wonderful for tracking the food your child has tried, how many times they have had it and if they had any reactions! I love the commitment to continually adding to the database, and never being finished until evey food is added!
