The hardest part of starting solids isn't the food. It's the noise.

It's 5 p.m., the high chair's up, and your phone has nine tabs open — all confident, all contradicting each other. Purées. Never purées. You're late. You're early. That's the Static: a wall of advice that turns a lovely milestone into a test you're scared of failing — while quietly drowning out the one thing that matters most in this window: iron.

The First Foods Method is your way through. It works like a compass — three fixed bearings instead of a hundred rules:

• Iron first — a baby's own stores run low around six months.

• Variety often — many flavours and textures, early and repeated.

• Follow the baby — you offer, they decide; readiness over calendar.

This 50-page guide turns those bearings into a plan you can cook: a 15-minute foundation (readiness, textures, portions, a full choking-safety chapter, the modern allergen approach), three stages from first purées to the family table, 18 iron-smart recipes, three printable 7-day meal plans, an allergen tracker, a batch-cooking & freezer guide, and reusable planners.

Stop researching. Start feeding — from one map you trust.

Educational content only — not medical advice. Always consult your pediatrician or dietitian before starting solids, and seek emergency care for any severe allergic reaction.
