First Bites: Your Calm, Week-by-Week Guide to Starting Solids

Does this sound familiar?

•      Your baby is almost 6 months and you have no idea where to begin with solid foods.

•      You've Googled it and now you're more confused than when you started.

•      Every app, every forum, every well-meaning relative is telling you something different.

•      You're terrified of choking, allergies, and getting it wrong.

You don't need more information. You need a plan.

First Bites is an 8-week guided app built for first-time mums navigating the starting solids journey from the very first teaspoon of smooth avocado all the way through to finger foods, allergen introduction, and confident family mealtimes.

This isn't a food database. It isn't a medical textbook. It's what I wish I'd had as a first-time mum — a calm, warm, week-by-week companion that tells you exactly what to offer today, how to prepare it safely, and what to do if things don't go to plan.

What's inside First Bites:

•      An 8-week guided plan — week-by-week foods, textures, and milestones

•      25+ baby-safe recipes with step-by-step preparation instructions

•      Safety notes on allergies, textures, choking vs gagging

•      A daily meal log so you can track what baby loved, refused, or reacted to

•      Gentle reassurance notes on every single recipe — because mealtime anxiety is real

•      A week-by-week tip for each stage of the journey

Who this is for:

•      First-time mums of babies aged 5–7 months preparing to start solids

•      Mums who feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice online

•      Mums who want a simple, guided plan — not another app to figure out

Who made this:

I'm a mum of four. My youngest has been one of my greatest teachers — born with a congenital heart condition and navigating more in his two years than most of us face in a lifetime, he has shown me what resilience really looks like up close. I have done the starting solids journey four times, each one completely different. Everything in First Bites comes from that lived experience — the messy, beautiful, figuring-it-out-as-you-go kind. Not from a search engine.

Before First Bites: Anxious, Googling at midnight, second-guessing every meal.

After First Bites: Calm, prepared, and genuinely excited for mealtimes. ✨
