Parents of a baby turning 6 months: the pediatrician, Instagram and grandma all say something different?

Tomorrow's first-foods meal is already planned. So are the next 29.

No more searching before every meal. One page a day tells you what to serve, how to cut it, how much, and what to do if it isn't working.

Starting solids shouldn't feel like a research project

7 in 10

parents and caregivers say there is more conflicting advice than ever. 6 in 10 say it makes them doubt their own instincts.

Akron Children's survey of 1,002 U.S. parents and caregivers, April 2026.

  • Purées or finger foods? One expert says one thing, the next says the opposite.
  • What to serve tomorrow — and the day after, and the day after that.
  • How to cut each food so it's the right shape and size for a baby who has never chewed.
  • How much is enough, and whether a few tastes "count."
  • The coughing and gagging that make every parent jump the first time, and nobody explains what's normal.
  • Egg, peanut, dairy, wheat: when, how, and what to watch for after.
The part nobody tells parents

The problem isn't too little information. It's too much.

Every source holds a piece of the puzzle. The pediatrician has a few minutes at the checkup. Social media has a thousand opinions. Grandma remembers how it was done thirty years ago.

Nobody hands parents the whole picture in order: what to serve today, how to cut it, how much, and what to do if it doesn't go to plan. So every meal starts with another search.

It isn't a parenting problem. It's a missing plan.

The 30-Day Starting Solids Plan takes the public guidance from the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics and turns it into one path: one page a day, in order, for thirty days.

What one day looks like

Day 1 page from the plan: today's menu, three steps and an if-it's-not-working box
  1. Open today's page. One goal, and today's menu with a spoon way and a finger-food way. Use either, or both.
  2. Do the 3 steps. How to cook it, how much to start with, what to watch. Most days take 10 to 20 minutes, including cleanup.
  3. Stuck? Read the bottom box. Every day ends with "If it's not working," so there's always a next thing to try.
  4. Check the box. Tomorrow is already planned.

One new food every 3 days, the rhythm the CDC and the AAP recommend so you can spot a reaction. In 30 days your baby meets 10 first foods, including the four common allergens egg, peanut, dairy and wheat, and moves from one meal a day to two.

What you get

1

The 30-day plan

Thirty day pages in order: today's menu (spoon way and finger way), three steps, a tip, and an "if it's not working" box. Iron-rich foods early, allergens one at a time, a second meal from Day 15.

2

The cut guide, with real-size drawings

Photos of how each first food is cut, next to a drawing at actual size: hold the food over the page to check. Stage 1 (big and long) and stage 2 (small and soft), plus which round foods always get cut or flattened.

3

Gagging or choking? One clear page

How the normal gag reflex looks and sounds, how choking is different, and what to do for each. Read it before Day 1.

4

The 62-food serving guide

How to serve 62 foods at around 6–9 months and around 9–12 months: vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy and grains. For the months after Day 30.

5

The busy-parent kit

One-hour batch prep for a week of meals, how to store and warm food, a daycare card to fill in, and weekly shopping lists.

6

8 simple recipes and the printables

No salt, no sugar, no honey. Plus amounts and hunger signs, quick help for refusing, gagging, throwing and missed days, a 30-day tracker, a new-food log and an allergen calendar.

You know what normal gagging looks like.

Questions

What age is this for?

Babies around 6 months who show the signs of readiness: sitting up with a little support, steady head and neck, opening the mouth for food and bringing things to the mouth. The plan has a checklist of the CDC's signs, and the CDC advises not starting before 4 months.

Purées or finger foods?

Both. Every day's menu has a spoon way and a finger-food way, and you can use one, the other, or mix them in the same meal. There's no single right way; the plan just tells you exactly how to do the one you pick.

Does it cover allergens like egg and peanut?

Yes. Egg, peanut, dairy and wheat come in during the first month, one at a time, mixed with a food your baby already had, with what to watch for after. Babies with severe eczema or a past food reaction should get a plan from their pediatrician first, as the AAP and the CDC advise, and the plan tells you that before each allergen day.

Can a guide promise my baby will never choke?

No. No guide can, and we won't pretend to. What the plan does is show the shapes and sizes that match a baby's skills, the foods on the CDC's choking-hazard list and how to change them, how the normal gag reflex differs from choking, and what to do for each. It also recommends an infant CPR and choking class before Day 1.

Only 10 new foods in 30 days? Other plans list 100.

On purpose. The CDC and the AAP advise one new food at a time and waiting 3 to 5 days before the next, so you can tell what caused a reaction. The plan follows that rhythm, and gives you the 62-food serving guide to keep going the same way after Day 30.

I work and my baby goes to daycare. Will this fit?

Yes. There's a one-hour batch-prep plan for the week, freezer portions, a day for packing a meal, and a daycare card so the caregiver knows how to serve each food.

What exactly do I get, and how?

One 61-page PDF. It arrives by email a few minutes after your order, and you can open it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print it. Nothing is shipped.

Is this medical advice?

No. It is general information about feeding healthy babies, based on public guidance from the CDC and the AAP. It doesn't replace your pediatrician. If your baby was born early, has a health condition or has trouble swallowing, talk to your pediatrician before starting.

What if it isn't right for us?

Email us within 30 days and you get your money back in full.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the file is yours to keep.
