This became my BLW Bible.

I’m not one to heavily rely on one thing. But this became my one stop shop for everything BLW. It provided me with the guidance I needed to help my baby join us at the table. It provided me with the confidence to stand my ground with my approach using medical professional advice and information. And it helped me and my baby form a wonderful relationship with our meal times. I learnt how capable he was and it was such a gift to be able to trust him and have him be independent, watching him enjoy his meals.


It definitely helped to navigate those trickier parts of mealtimes in a way that was constructive, and gave me useful tips on keeping baby engaged at meal times.


We have such a wonderful little eater and o look forward to watching him navigate the toddler years with the same curiosity and interest in learning about new foods.

Needs a more user friendly way to track

Great app for info about what/how to serve at what age but not user friendly for tracking. For many reasons… For instance, you can’t use characters like “/“ in the notes which makes it hard to use as you can’t write 1/2 pear - only letters. Tracking is not very intuitive, in my opinion they need to hire a UX expert. It’s a bit cumbersome to add foods to several days. Adding multiple foods to a day is also time consuming. I can never quite understand where I am in the app, especially in the food log section. I just don’t have the time. Also I expected to have the guides they offer as PDFs in this app, not have to buy them separately. I’d be willing to pay more but just have them there. Another issue is missing common foods like egg yolks but only having eggs. I don’t want to have to add something as basic as this manually. Personally I’m slightly disappointed that this app recommends Cheerios to 9+ months old babies. Featured food? Why?! A way to build bad eating habits and metabolic health issues. Sugar and processed foods have no place in a baby’s diet. Everyone’s choice but don’t push it.

Disappointing upgrade

I paid for the subscription with the app due to the 100 day introduction to solids compass week by week meal plan. I was a couple of weeks in when the app upgraded and the interface of the app became much less user friendly and the week by week guide is no longer available so I have had to purchase the plan separately on their website.

I contacted the help email address to ask for a refund of my subscription as this was the only reason I subscribed. I have not received a response. I have cancelled my subscription. I think the change to the app was short sighted as many people will subscribe for this feature. Just having recipes and a much less clearer compass plan is not enough of a draw to keep subscribing when there are cheaper weaning apps with recipes. You now have to chose which recipes to introduce from the app. The whole point was that I wanted a clear directed plan. The PDF version of the weaning guide from the website is also much less user friendly.
