Not medical advice
Everything in the BabyFoodTracker app and on babyfoodtracker.com is general information for parents and caregivers. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and using it does not create a doctor–patient or dietitian–client relationship.
Always talk to your pediatrician before starting solids and about any question on your baby’s health, growth, feeding, or allergies.
Food and age guidance
Food preparation and age guidance is based on public health sources such as the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the NHS, NIAID, and the FDA. Where a rule is our own extra caution rather than an official guideline, we say so.
Every baby is different. Follow your pediatrician’s advice first, especially for babies born early, babies with medical conditions or feeding difficulties, and babies with severe eczema or a known food allergy.
Choking
No way of preparing food removes all choking risk. Always seat your baby upright and stay with them while they eat. Consider an infant first aid and CPR class.
Allergies and reactions
BabyFoodTracker does not diagnose allergies and cannot tell you that a food is safe for your child. Logs, notes, and reports are records for you and your doctor.
If your baby has trouble breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, repeated vomiting, widespread hives, or becomes pale or floppy, call your local emergency number (911 in the US) right away.
Accuracy
We review our guidance carefully and update it when guidelines change, but we cannot guarantee it is complete, current, or right for every child. If something looks wrong, please tell us through the contact page.
Use of the app and website is also covered by the Terms of Use.
