The useful version

Clear enough to use while a baby is throwing food.

What the 100 foods before 1 goal is for

The point is variety, not perfection. A tracker helps you remember what your baby has already tried, what went well, and what is worth offering again in a different texture.

BabyFoodTracker keeps the goal concrete without turning meals into a spreadsheet from hell. Mark a food as tried, add a quick note, and move on with your day.

  • Track fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy, and flavor builders.
  • Keep refused foods visible so they can be retried later.
  • Flag possible reactions without pretending the app can diagnose anything.

How to use the tracker

Start with a few foods your baby handles comfortably, then add new foods as your pediatrician recommends and your baby shows readiness. Each checkbox is just a record, not a command.

For new foods, record the date, preparation form, response, and any notes. That small habit becomes useful fast when a pediatrician asks what happened and when.

Make allergens visible

The US recognizes nine major food allergens: milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame. BabyFoodTracker pulls those into the same food list so allergen exposures do not disappear inside meal notes.

FAQ

Questions parents actually ask.

Do I have to hit exactly 100 foods before my baby turns 1?

No. It is a variety goal, not a parenting grade. The useful part is the record: what was tried, what was liked, what was refused, and what needs a note.

Can I count spices, herbs, and flavor add-ins?

Yes, if you want the goal to represent variety. Keep the list practical and age-appropriate, and skip anything your clinician has told you to avoid.

Should I track reactions here?

Yes, as notes. The tracker can help organize symptoms and timing for a pediatrician, but it cannot tell you whether something is an allergy.
