First foods checklist
From first spoon to family table, checked off stage by stage.
What it does
The First foods studio is a staged feeding checklist: Stage 1 (4–6 months: smooth purees & cereals), Stage 2 (6–9 months: mashed foods & soft finger foods), Stage 3 (9–12 months: soft table foods & cup sips) — plus a Top 9 Allergen Introduction Log that tracks each allergen as Not Introduced, Tried & Tolerated, or Reaction Observed, with trial-date and reaction notes. Add custom foods, record pediatric guidance and feeding observations (gagging notes, texture progress) in the Doctor Notes tab, sync with your partner or caregiver, and export an Official First Foods & Allergen Record. Saved in this browser (solids-tracker-v1). Educational — ask your clinician about readiness and allergens; not medical advice.
Who it’s for
Parents starting solids who want the adventure organized — especially the allergen introductions, which deserve a log, not a memory.
How to use it, step by step
- Work through the stage tabs as your baby advances; check foods as they are tried.
- Log each Top 9 allergen with its status and notes (one at a time, observed over 2–3 days, per the on-page guidance).
- Add custom foods your family actually eats.
- Keep the pediatrician contact and feeding observations in Doctor Notes.
- Sync with caregivers and print the Official Record for visits.
What you get

💡 Tips & tricks
- The reaction-notes field is the one you will thank yourself for: "mild rash on cheeks, day 2" beats reconstructing it at the pediatrician.
- Gagging is normal and different from choking — the Doctor Notes tab is a good place to keep your clinician's explanation where you can reread it calmly.
Enough reading — the tool itself is one tap away, and it is free.
