Where do I find baby-led weaning recipes by age and allergen?
Six-month finger foods, nine-month breakfasts, iron-rich dinners, and the recipe you screenshotted last night, all checked against your baby's age and the allergens you are tracking.
The recipes are everywhere except where you cook
Saved on Instagram, forgotten by dinner
The reel showed a pancake your baby could hold. It is now somewhere in 400 saved posts, with no ingredients list and no idea whether it suits a seven-month-old.
Is this recipe safe for her age?
A recipe written for a toddler can hide honey, whole nuts or a choking shape. Checking every ingredient by hand is the step that gets skipped at 5pm.
Iron, again
From six months iron matters more than almost anything, and a week of fruit purées does not deliver it. Finding iron-rich recipes that a baby can manage is its own search.
500+ recipes, plus yours, each checked for your baby
Browse 500+ baby recipes by age and texture
Filter by ingredients, texture and nutrition, or start from the rows the app builds for your baby's age: quick breakfasts, under 15 minutes, iron-rich. Every recipe shows the age it suits and the time it takes.
Import recipes from anywhere
Share a post from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube or a blog to Avo and it becomes a structured recipe with ingredients and steps, flagged for age and allergens before you cook. Your imports sit beside Avo's own recipes in My Recipes.
Recipe ideas for every food in the plan
The 30-day first-tastes plan pairs each new food with recipes that use it, so the day you introduce ground beef comes with three ways to serve it at six months.

Frequently asked questions
How many recipes does Avo Starting Solids have?
More than 500 of its own, with age labels, cooking time and filters for ingredients, texture and nutrition, plus any recipes you import from social media and websites.
Which sites can I import recipes from?
Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook and recipe blogs. Share the post or link to Avo and it is turned into a recipe with ingredients and steps.
How does the app check an imported recipe?
It reads the ingredients and flags the ones that are common allergens, the ones that are unsuitable under 12 months such as honey, and the age the recipe suits, before you decide to cook it. It does not change the recipe.
Are the recipes baby-led weaning or purées?
Both. The texture filter separates purées, mashes and finger foods, and most recipes note how to adapt the shape for six, nine and twelve months.
Are the recipes free?
Browsing recipes and importing your own are available in the free app; premium, at $24.99 a year, unlocks the full recipe features and nutrition insights.
Can I filter for allergens my baby reacted to?
Yes. The filters include allergens, and recipes containing an allergen your baby has reacted to are flagged.
Where else do you publish baby recipes?
Our sister site BLW Recipes publishes baby-led weaning recipes on the web, and our guides cover food combinations, breakfasts and portable snacks by age.
