What age is this app designed for?

It is designed for parents introducing solid foods to babies from about 4 months to 18 months, covering the whole weaning and allergen introduction period. It works for baby-led weaning (BLW), spoon-feeding, or a mix of both.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. Logging foods and reactions, the allergen schedule, the Food Status board and PDF exports all work without an internet connection. Only caregiver sharing and subscription purchases need a connection.

Is this available on Android?

Not yet. The app is available for iPhone on the App Store and needs iOS 18 or later. There is no Android, iPad, Apple Watch or web version yet.

Which allergens does the app track?

You choose a list when you set up the app: the US list of 9 major allergens (including sesame), the EU list of 14, or the Australia/New Zealand list of 12. You can also add custom allergens for anything else your family wants to watch.

Can my partner, nanny or grandparent log meals too?

Yes, with caregiver sharing. Setting it up needs Premium on your phone; receiving is free. Both people need an iPhone and a Google account. Entries are encrypted on the phone and synced through your own Google Drive. Your baby's name, photo and date of birth are never shared.

Does the app store my baby's data on its servers?

No. There are no company servers. Apple's App Store privacy label for Log: Baby Solid Food & Allergy lists a single data type, Purchases, so Premium works. Your food diary lives on your phone. There are no ad trackers, no analytics SDKs and no cookies. If you use caregiver sharing, entries are encrypted on your phone before they reach your own Google Drive.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Your log is stored on your phone, not on our servers, so it stays under your control. Make an encrypted, password-protected backup file in Settings and save it wherever you like, such as iCloud Drive or your computer. Backup reminders can prompt you after a set time or after you've logged a certain amount. On a new phone, install the app and restore the file. Caregiver sharing isn't a backup.

What is the difference between Free and Premium?

Free includes unlimited food and reaction logs with photos, the Timeline, the Food Status board, backups, one child, 2 allergens on the schedule, the first 12 of the First 100 Foods, and sample PDF reports. Premium is a monthly or annual subscription that adds every allergen, full-history PDFs without a watermark, more children, setting up caregiver sharing, and the full First 100 Foods board with milestone cards.

Is this a medical tool?

No. It is a food diary and record-keeping tool. It does not diagnose food allergies, give medical advice, or replace your paediatrician or allergist. If your child is having a severe allergic reaction, call emergency services immediately.

Choking Hazards: Foods to Avoid When Starting Solids

The first time our baby gagged on a piece of banana that was cut wrong, not too big, just the wrong shape, we learned the difference between gagging and choking the hard way, mostly by panicking and then looking it up afterwards. Most of what we needed to know was genuinely simple. We just hadn't read it yet.

Direct Answer: Gagging (loud, coughing, pushing food forward) is a normal part of learning to eat, while choking (often silent, weak or no cough) is an emergency; whole nuts, hard raw produce, whole grapes, and round firm foods like cherry tomatoes should be modified in shape rather than avoided outright.

Tracking meals and symptoms manually is harder than it sounds. Our app makes it quick, and stays completely private.

Gagging is not choking

Gagging is loud: your baby coughs, retches, and pushes food back forward, and it's a normal, useful part of learning to eat. Choking looks different: it's often silent, or comes with a weak, ineffective cough, and the baby can't cry or breathe normally. If you suspect real choking, get emergency help immediately.

The foods that need modifying, not banning

NHS guidance on foods to avoid is consistent on a few specifics: whole nuts and pieces should be avoided as-is, offer smooth nut butter or paste, powder, or finely ground nuts instead, mixed into food already tolerated. Hard raw vegetables and fruits, or whole fruits like grapes, should be cooked, grated, puréed, or cut up rather than served whole. And foods with a bacterial contamination risk, honey up to 12 months and raw eggs, should be avoided outright rather than modified.

Other common choking risks worth knowing

Round, firm foods can lodge in a small airway, and NHS guidance on preparing food safely is specific about how to cut them: quarter whole grapes and cherry tomatoes (don't just halve them), cut sausages and hot dogs in half and then lengthways, and grate hard cheese or cut it into short, narrow strips rather than chunks. AAP choking prevention guidance also flags popcorn, hard sweets, chunks of raw apple or carrot, and thick chunks of nut butter, which should be spread thinly instead. None of these are foods to avoid forever, just foods that need a different shape at this age.

Setting up for safety, not just picking the right foods

NHS safe weaning guidance: always supervise eating, and stay with your baby until they have finished. Seat them safely upright in a highchair, not reclined in a bouncer chair. Piece size and shape matter as much as which specific food it is, the same food cut two different ways can be a reasonable finger food or a genuine hazard.

What we track instead

The app doesn't have a dedicated choking-hazard checklist built in, this article is the reference for that, not the app. What it does track is which foods have actually been offered and any reaction that followed, so we treat this list as the safety reference to check before mealtime, and the app as the record of what happened after.
