Why we know this works
Why we know this works
We love this because, especially with your first child it can feel really scary to try foods and keep it straight in your head when developmentally is the right time to do so. Solid Starts makes it really easy and accurate. It not only comes from lived experience from moms but also from the clinical expertise of occupational therapists. The website is super helpful and the app makes sure you always have answers at the ready!
