Founder, BabyFoodTracker
I'm Nil, a dad of three. I started this site on the side while we were feeding our first baby, and then mostly left it alone.
Our second baby turned out to have food allergies: egg, milk and tree nuts. Nobody in either of our families had ever had a food allergy, so it hit us out of nowhere. We went through round after round of allergy testing, and only then learned that in the US some food allergies can be caught early and worked on with an allergist, so a child can build tolerance. By the time we understood that, our kid didn't need it anymore.
Now we're feeding our third baby, and I'm finally building this site properly. It's the tracker and the plain-language guidance we wish we'd had the second time around. I hope it helps your family too.
I also make Makeform, a free AI form builder, and PageGun, which helps sites grow organic traffic. BabyFoodTracker keeps notes and explains how to serve food; it doesn't diagnose allergies or replace your pediatrician.

Why we built BabyFoodTracker
