When I started solids with my daughter Portia, I found the whole experience pretty overwhelming. Like a lot of first-time parents, I was anxious — constantly second-guessing if I was doing it “right” and worrying about allergic reactions, choking, and whether she was getting enough variety.

Not long after, I created Solid Steps to help take some of that stress away for other parents going through the same thing. The first product I made was a simple, visual fridge magnet to help track new foods, introduce allergens confidently, and know the key signs to look out for if something doesn’t go to plan.

When I started introducing solids, I found it hard to find resources and recipes that were both easy to understand and simple to follow. Solid Steps is my way of creating the kind of support I wish I’d had when I was navigating it all for the first time. I hope Solid Steps helps simplify and enrich this special time for you and your baby.
