We&#x2019;re thrilled to share that we have revamped our first foods experience in the app to include some exciting new features! &#x1F389;&#xA0;Our app still gives you the clarity, confidence, and tools you need to guide you and your baby through their first 100 foods, but now with some enhanced functions and features.&#xA0;*For specific questions regarding transitioning to the new experience, please see our&#xA0;<a href="https://solidstarts.gorgias.help/en-US/2659136-2f7bd7060df34872810431ecd1dd1710">Transition FAQs Help Center article.</a>&#xA0;With your All Access subscription, you&#x2019;ll get our guided introduction to baby&#x2019;s 100 first foods&#x2014;complete with tailored meal plans that include foods and recipes recommended by our pediatric team of experts. We suggest new foods to try that gradually build your baby&#x2019;s ability to bite and chew a variety of textures&#x2014;and explain exactly how to serve them to make the most of mealtime. Common food allergens are introduced along the way, with step-by-step guidance to help you build confidence with each taste.&#xA0;Included in the Solid Starts App subscription:Personalized Homescreen&#xA0;Your homescreen brings everything together in one simple view:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Plan: Build a meal plan tailored to your baby&#x2019;s stage</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Shop:&#xA0;Get your personalized shopping list for the week</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Track: Log foods, notes, reactions, and milestones</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Progress: See what your baby has accomplished and what&#x2019;s up next</li></ul>Your meals are featured on the homescreen, alongside articles and tips by our pediatric team for your baby&apos;s developmental stage.Build a Meal PlanThe new First Foods Experience gives you a roadmap you can trust, but it&#x2019;s also flexible enough to fit real life.&#xA0;Start by choosing foods to introduce, recommended by our team of pediatric feeding experts. With customizable options, you can swap, shift, and shape the plan around your family&#x2019;s schedule. If the plan calls for carrots but you only have sweet potatoes, you&#x2019;re still on track.&#xA0;Based on the foods you&#x2019;ve selected, the app suggests meals, which you can schedule, adjust, and plan on your timeline.<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Customize:&#xA0;Swap in foods you already have at home</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Adjust: Add and remove meals to fit your schedule</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none;">Plan ahead: Choose your start date and plan meals ahead of time</li></ul>The plan is connected to a personalized shopping list, so everything you need is right at your fingertips. Keep it in the app for easy reference, or share it with another app or by text to simplify grocery shopping and keep it stress-free (as much as possible!)Track Progress In the My Progress tab, get a clear picture of where you are in your baby&apos;s journey toward 100 foods and what&apos;s up next.&#xA0;See the foods your baby has already tried, the allergens you&#x2019;ve introduced, and the skills they&#x2019;re building so far. Then look forward to the next stages and milestones, so you&#x2019;ll always know what&#x2019;s coming up.Every meal you log is automatically saved to your Tracker, so you&#x2019;ll always have a record of what your baby has tried. You can log notes, mark favorites, and record any reactions right alongside each food.Need to share progress? You can export your Tracker to review with your doctor or pediatrician. It&#x2019;s the simplest way to stay organized, spot patterns, and feel confident about your baby&#x2019;s feeding journey.Introduce AllergensDeveloped with our pediatric allergist, the plan guides you through every step of introducing common food allergens to your baby.<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">The plan explains how to assess your baby&apos;s risk of food allergy and what to do if your baby is at high risk.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">As you follow your meal plan, you&#x2019;ll unlock the allergen introduction stage, which shows you exactly how and when to serve allergens in the right amounts. No matter what common allergen you choose to begin with, the plan guides you through how to cook it, how much to serve, and what to watch for once baby tastes it.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Your meal plan will also keep those foods in rotation to support ongoing exposure, a critical part of allergen introduction.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Once an allergy is ruled out, the plan suggests meal ideas to keep the food allergen in rotation, which helps prevent an allergy from developing.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Most babies do not have food allergies, but if your baby does experience a reaction to the food, you can log it and remove that food from your experience.</li></ul>This way, you&#x2019;ll know you&#x2019;re handling this important phase with trusted expert guidance.Expert GuidesUnder the Guides tab, are expert-written resources&#x2014;articles, videos, and courses&#x2014;to support you with common scenarios like:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Infant choking rescue</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Feeding schedules by age</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Teaching cup drinking&#xA0;</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">How to relieve infant constipation</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Handling food refusal</li></ul>Resources are organized by age and stage, with clear, trusted answers no matter your question.Meals and RecipesUnder the Meals tab are 400+ recipes for babies, toddlers, and the whole family. With your subscription, you can:&#xA0;<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Search meals by keyword or theme</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Save favorite recipes for easy access later</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Build lists of recipes to try next</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Filter by categories like breakfast, lunch, and dinner</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Filter by dietary preference</li></ul>We hope you love the new features, and if you have any questions at all, we&#x2019;re here for you.

Considering transitioning to our new First Foods Experience? You&apos;re in for a treat! &#x1F389;Here we&apos;ll answer all your questions as you prepare to make the leap!Will I be forced to move to the new experience?&#xA0; No, you will have the option to remain in the older experience, if you choose. However, we do believe our newer experience is much improved and encourage you to give it a try! More on the new experience <a href="https://solidstarts.gorgias.help/en-US/2659100-6376decd41b5495788e18433072ebb95">here</a>. We also want to assure you that if you switch to the new experience, all of your data for logged foods and allergic reactions remains safe within your tracker and will transfer over to the new experience seamlessly.&#xA0;We do want to note that if you choose to add a new baby profile, your new baby profile, in addition to any previous baby profiles, will automatically be switched to the new experience.What&#x2019;s the difference between the old experience and new first 100 foods experience?&#xA0;Both experiences offer a professionally developed guided introduction of foods and common allergens, access to all of our starting solids guides and videos, 300+ meal ideas, expert-written articles, smart food and allergen tracking tools, and tips/tricks from our pros.&#xA0;However, our new experience introduces:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Meal planning: Select foods to introduce each week, as recommended by our experts, and plan which day of the week to prep each meal. So it works for your schedule.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Stages: The plan introduces your baby&apos;s first 100 foods with distinct stages, like scoopable foods, foods to bite and chew, and foods for pick-up practice. The plan is customizable for you and your baby, and you can move at your own pace.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Flexibility: While we recommend fantastic first foods with recipes on exactly how to prepare them, you can choose to swap out foods to make it your own.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Shopping List: The meal plan generates a shopping list, which you can customize and share to make grocery shopping a breeze.</li></ul>I can&#x2019;t decide on whether I should stay in the old experience or transition to new. Help! While the old experience still offers amazing guidance and support for starting solids, we do believe our newer experience is much improved and would encourage you to give it a try! The new experience allows you to view your baby&#x2019;s eating progress by clearly defined stages built around essential eating skills, in addition to meal planning and shopping list features. And the good news is that you can always switch back to the old experience, so you have nothing to lose by giving the new experience a go!Will I lose my data if/when I make the switch?&#xA0; If you switch to the new experience, all of your data for logged foods and allergic reactions remains safe within your tracker and will transfer over to the new experience seamlessly.&#xA0;Will I lose my data if I choose to go back to the old experience?&#xA0; If you find the new experience is not for you, and you want to switch back to the old experience, you can do so without data loss. We&#x2019;re happy to share that your data transfers seamlessly between the two experience types.&#xA0;Can I switch back and forth between old and new experiences?&#xA0; Yes! Click your profile icon on the main page, and then click &#x201C;Version&#x201D; to switch experiences. All of your data will transfer smoothly to your preferred experience. However, we do want to note that if you choose to add a new baby profile, your new baby profile, in addition to any previous baby profiles, will automatically be switched to the new experience where you will remain. Once adding a new baby profile, you cannot return to the old experience.When moving to the new experience, will I start over? Where will I start in the new plan? Our new experience introduces different eating stages (examples include Scoop and Mash, Dip &amp; Bite, Big Flavors, among others) that include meals designed to help your baby build the skills needed to master that stage. When you move over to the new experience, any meal you have already completed that is a component of an eating stage will count toward the completion of that stage.&#xA0;You will also see a certain progress percentage for each stage based on meals you have completed. To view this information in the new experience, click the &#x201C;Progress&#x201D; button on the main homepage and scroll to the &#x201C;My Progress&#x201D; section on the page. Once switching over, you will be placed in the next stage of the plan that has not yet tried enough foods to mark 100% completion.&#xA0;I switched to new experience and I want to go back to old experience. How do I do that?&#xA0; To easily switch back to the old experience, click your profile icon on the main page, and then click &#x201C;Version: New&#x201D; to switch experiences. All of your data will transfer smoothly back to the old experience. We do want to note, however, that returning to the old experience will bring you right back to where you left off prior to switching over&#x2013;while any new data logged will carry over, your progress in your meals within the old experience will not reflect any specific progress made in the new experience.How do I switch to the new experience?&#xA0; To easily switch to the new experience:&#xA0;<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Click your profile icon on the main page</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Click &#x201C;Version: Old&#x201D; to switch it to the new experience.&#xA0;</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">All of your data will transfer smoothly to the new experience.</li></ul>Our new experience introduces different eating stages (examples include Scoop and Mash, Dip &amp; Bite, Big Flavors, among others) that include meals designed to help your baby build the skills needed to master that stage.

Note that our new experience does include a meal planning feature, so for ease, you may want to switch when you are ready to start a new meal plan for whatever time frame works for you and your family.I am adding a new baby profile and it&#x2019;s asking me to switch to the new experience. What is it? Can I stay in the old experience? If you add a new baby profile, the app will automatically switch you to the new experience. There is no option to stay in the old experience when you add a new baby profile. In addition, any previous baby profiles you created will also automatically be switched to the new experience.
