What are we using as a guide other than Solid Starts?

6 months old

We’re starting solids and leaning toward BLW and it’d be cool to have a guide/starting point that’s free. I checked out Solid Starts but that and other apps charge a fee to use most of the app. Curious if there’s any other recommendations?

I got “how to wean your baby by Charlotte Stirling-Reed” It’s not a free option, but being a book I wonder if you’d be able to find it in a library or get a second hand copy. I liked it as it gives you a 30 day plan which I found really helpful, gives you a good idea how to start.

I use the BLWMeals app and look at their IG sometimes.

The solid starts app was helpful for me to learn how to serve each food

You don’t have to pay for solid starts. That’s only if you want to track things on there

Mostly common sense act the first few weeks. Texture and size are the primary concerns for choking. Little salt, little added sugar.
