Starting Solids Planner: baby first foods, allergen log, and the readiness signs. For the first spoon.
Thirty-two pages of plain, no-judgment guidance for the first months of eating. Readiness signs, the gear list, a daily-tracker template, the twelve-food list that covers the bases, an allergen-introduction log, scripts for the grandparent who keeps offering things, and a "what if they hate it" page that does not panic.

Look inside
Pages from the file you'll download, not a mock-up.
Starting solids is one of those parenting moments where the internet has 400 conflicting voices and your kid is just trying to figure out what a spoon is.
This planner is the version of the conversation that does not assume you have read a thousand-page baby-food book. It assumes you have a baby roughly between four and twelve months and you’d like to start, or you have already started and you are wondering whether you are doing it right.
What’s inside
Thirty-two pages, undated:
- The readiness page. Sitting with support, head control, lost-tongue-thrust reflex, interest in food. The signs and what to do if only some are present.
- The gear list. Six things you actually need. Five you don’t.
- A daily eating log. Time, what was offered, what was eaten, what was thrown, mood. Bite-sized.
- The twelve-food starter list. A loose first-three-months sketch. No “must introduce by week X” pressure.
- The allergen-introduction log. The common-eight, one at a time, with a three-day-watch protocol. Build the record so your provider has data if needed.
- A “they hate it” page. What’s typical. What’s not. When to keep offering. When to wait two weeks.
- The “purees vs finger foods” page. Both are fine. Both have a place. We don’t take a side.
- The mealtime scripts. For the grandparent offering pre-chewed bites. For the in-law concerned about salt. For yourself, when you have offered the same broccoli for two weeks.
- A monthly check-in. Where the baby is, where you are, what the next 30 days look like.
