BLW tracker

Baby-led weaning needs a tracker, not another lecture.

Log soft finger foods, textures, favorites, refusals, allergens, and progress toward 100 foods before 1.

The useful version

Clear enough to use while a baby is throwing food.

What BLW parents actually need to remember

Baby-led weaning creates a lot of variety quickly. That is the fun part. It also makes memory unreliable. A tracker keeps food exposure, texture, and reaction notes in one place.

  • Soft finger food, mashed, puree, and mixed-dish preparation notes.
  • Foods baby loved versus foods to retry.
  • Allergen exposures surfaced clearly.

Texture matters

A food is not just a food. Banana spear, mashed banana, and banana in oatmeal are different experiences for a baby learning to eat. Track the prep when it matters.

Keep safety language serious

The page should never imply that BLW means ignoring choking risk or medical concerns. BabyFoodTracker is a record-keeping tool. Safe preparation and clinician guidance still matter.

FAQ

Questions parents actually ask.

Can puree parents use this tracker?

Yes. The tracker supports puree, mashed, soft finger food, mixed dish, and other forms. Purist food fights are boring; feeding babies is practical work.

Does BLW change allergen tracking?

No. Allergens still deserve clear exposure notes and safe textures. Ask your pediatrician if your baby has eczema, known allergies, or previous reactions.

Can I track gagging?

Use notes for gagging, coughing, refusals, or anything you want to remember. Urgent symptoms should be handled as medical concerns, not app entries.
