What the app does
Starting Solids — BLW is a lifestyle app created for caregivers using baby-led weaning. It combines practical guidance with tools to help families introduce solids confidently and safely. The app is free to download on iPhone and is organized to support each stage of a baby’s feeding development.

How it supports introducing solids
The app helps caregivers by simplifying meal prep and giving actionable, safety-focused advice. Users can build personalized menus, monitor progress, and keep notes about their baby’s tastes and tolerances. This combination of resources and tracking aims to make the transition to solids less overwhelming and more consistent with healthy eating habits.
Other options to consider
If you’re looking for alternatives, one option listed alongside this app is Bono — a free pizza-delivery service that some users may prefer for family meal convenience rather than baby-focused feeding guidance.
