This is my go-to. The resource I trust the most. I especially love the “how to serve” option
Developer Response
Ah, love hearing this! So grateful for your support! 🤍
App stopped working
Edge of my seat
I purchased a 1 year subscription, which didn’t really work from day one. I always updated the app when it was available. Not only that, the app completely stopped working and all my recorded data was gone almost 5 months before the 1 year subscription ended.
Developer Response
Hi there, so sorry for the trouble! Please send an email to app@solidstarts.com so that our team can restore your data. 🤍
I don’t think it’s worth it

I found the subscription costs high considering that this same information can be found elsewhere, such as library books and videos.
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing! We hear you — there's definitely a lot of info out there, although it can be scattered and sometimes conflicting. The information in our app is organized, professionally vetted/reviewed, and searchable by topic, food, age, etc. Everything you need for starting solids in one place - truly "one stop shopping." For a lot of families, that time savings and peace of mind during a stressful stage is the value, even when pieces of the info could technically be found elsewhere. Always happy to hear more feedback/answer questions at solidstarts.com/contact 🤍
We made some improvements and bug fixes. Thanks for being part of our community! If you have any questions or feedback, please contact us at solidstarts.com/contact.
