What is Yummy Yucky?
Starting solids is a joy and a low-grade panic, often in the same meal. Yummy Yucky is a food tracker for the high-chair years: log what your baby eats, call it yummy or yucky, keep a close eye on allergens, and swipe recipes from other parents in the same delicious chaos.
Why we built it
The guidance flipped. Introducing common allergens early and often actually helps. But remembering who tried what, when, and how it went, on three hours of sleep? Not happening. So we built the part that remembers and left you the good part: the faces.
Who's behind it
We're parents who started solids, got overwhelmed, and couldn't find a tracker that was both genuinely useful and didn't feel like it was quietly selling us (and our baby's data) to the highest bidder. So we made our own: privacy-first, grounded in published pediatric guidance, and honestly kind of fun. If it saves you one 2 a.m. spiral, it's doing its job.
How we write our guides
Our guides are written from widely published pediatric guidance (the American Academy of Pediatrics, the NIAID 2017 addendum guidelines, and the LEAP study), and every page cites its sources. They are general information, not medical advice, and are pending review by a pediatric professional.
Yummy Yucky is a tracker, not a doctor. Always talk to your pediatrician about your baby's diet and any allergy concerns.
