Use this path when baby is changing quickly and you want a simple way to track first foods, reactions, checkup questions, and milestone notes.
Stage checklist
Confirm readiness and first-food questions with your pediatrician before treating any schedule as fixed.
Track foods, reactions, timing, and caregiver notes in a format you can bring to appointments.
Use milestone prompts as observation support, not as a diagnosis or comparison tool.
Keep the next stage connected to the full first-year plan so feeding, sleep, and development notes do not split into separate systems.
