Formula amount estimator

A rough daily formula guide based on weight (about 150 ml per kg per day for the first ~6 months). Split across the feeds your baby takes.

A starting point only — babies self-regulate. Follow the tin’s instructions and your provider, and never restrict or force feeds to hit a number.

Allergen introduction tracker

Once solids are established, introduce common allergens early and one at a time, a few days apart. Tap each as you go.

0 of 9 introduced

Offer a new allergen earlier in the day so you can watch for any reaction. Check with your provider first if there’s a family history of allergies.

General information only, not medical or nutritional advice. Guidance varies by country and updates over time — follow your healthcare provider, especially about allergens.

How it works

Feeding changes a lot in the first two years: milk only at first, signs of readiness around 4–6 months, starting solids at about 6 months, then gradually more textures, variety and meals until your baby joins family meals. We map your baby’s age to the typical stage.

Current guidance encourages introducing common allergens early and one at a time, offering iron-rich first foods, and avoiding honey and cow’s milk as a main drink before age 1. Every baby is different — follow your baby’s cues and your provider’s advice.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start solids? +

Around 6 months for most babies, when they show readiness signs — sitting with support, good head control, and interest in food. Talk to your provider about timing for your baby.

What are good first foods? +

Iron-rich foods are a great start — iron-fortified cereal, well-cooked puréed meat or lentils, plus soft vegetables and fruit. Offer a variety of textures as your baby progresses.

How do I introduce allergens? +

Current advice is to introduce common allergens (egg, peanut, dairy, etc.) early — once solids are established — one at a time, a few days apart, so any reaction is easy to spot. Check with your provider, especially if there’s a family history.

What foods should babies avoid? +

No honey before 1 year, no cow’s milk as a main drink before 1, no added salt or sugar, and avoid choking hazards (whole nuts, whole grapes, hard raw chunks). Always supervise eating.
