Starting solids and allergen introduction tracker
A first-foods picker with the common allergens flagged, a reaction check on every entry, and a clean history of what's been introduced — ready for the next appointment.
Cocoon logs solids from a picker of 43 first foods, with 11 common allergens (like egg and peanut) flagged, plus anything you type yourself. Each entry records any reaction — none, mild or allergic — and a “Foods introduced” history shows every allergen your baby has tried and when.
What it does
Tap Solids and pick from 43 common first foods — or type your own. The common allergens are flagged as you pick, so your allergen history stays consistent without you having to remember which foods count.
Every entry has a quick reaction check: none, mild or allergic. The “Foods introduced” page gathers every allergen your baby has tried, when, and how it went — the list a GP or allergy clinic asks for.
The Solids tile appears on Home from 5 months, and the solids and allergen guides sit one tap away.

- Tap Solids on Home (from 5 months) or on the + sheet.
- Pick foods from the list or type your own; allergens are flagged.
- Record any reaction: none, mild or allergic.

Common questions
Can Cocoon track which allergens my baby has tried?
Yes. Common allergens are flagged when you log solids, and the Foods introduced page lists every allergen your baby has tried, when, and whether there was a reaction.
When does the Solids tile appear?
From 5 months, the Solids tile joins Home. You can log solids from the + sheet at any age.
Does Cocoon tell me when to introduce allergens?
No — it records what you introduce and links to calm, referenced guides on starting solids and introducing allergens. Your GP or child-health nurse can advise on timing for your baby.
