Solid Food Addition : Baby ESP

Sarah Gorman

Oh goodness! What a fantastic idea! We're just starting solids now, so we're going to use the Journal option for this in the meantime. But it would be fabulous to have a solids category in addition to bottles!

Jessica Budd

That would be very useful. definitely will be recording this info some where but would much prefer it to be here than a physical notepad

January 13, 2011 00:51

Chris parrett

That is a fantastic idea. Allow the app to grow with the baby - that would be ideal. We have started solids and are using the journal feature too.

Shamara Long

I'm a long way from this, I have three weeks before my due date... but I can CLEARLY see this being a great addition to this awesome app!

Cynthia McLain

I hadn't thought of this (or needed it) yet, but it's definitely a great idea!

Ethan is now 6 months and weaning. I am tracking this using 'other' but it would be great if there was a weaning feature on the app. There is an app available called 'baby food diary' which is specifically for weaning. It may be worth having a look to see if it can be incorporate it into baby esp.

Great idea! Would love to also add temp of food.

We're just starting solids, so this would be great!

I have added my own solid feed button under other > add activity, I have named it solid feed and even added a photo of fruit so that comes up, also I have put it on the tool bar so its easily founf!

Kate Stevenson

Wow, how do you add a photo to a custom category? I'd love to be able to do that!

January 31, 2011 20:13

Janette McBurrows

If you have a camera or sd card slot on your phone there is a little icon in the edit mode of your activity you create that when held down (given that you have touch screen) will pop up the option to either take a photo or add an existing photo. I did the same for solids too, but would love more options. It would be great to be able to select versus type in notes...I.e.like, okay, dislike for taste and hot, room temp or cold food. (Kind of like the pee poo option in diaper.)

January 31, 2011 22:21

Jannell Shaw

Great idea. I'm keeping track in other currently. Would be great if it was its own button where common foods could be stored & reused. Like the medicine buttons.

February 02, 2011 15:53

null null

Yes yes yes! Would be fab, currently, I'm recording it under "other".

February 04, 2011 18:41

Cynthia McLain

I think Jannell nailed it - do it like the medicine category (which should be easy since you already have that coded), with presets for the basics (the different cereals, for example) plus allow other foods to be added by the user. And instead of ml dosages, you could have ounces eaten. I LOVE this idea! :)

I personally think the reaction (like/dislike, as well as any allergic reactions) and temp can just go in notes for each entry.

February 04, 2011 18:52

Jenna Long

I would love to have this feature as well! I think making it similar to the medicine category is a great idea too and could work well. Hope to see this implemented!

February 08, 2011 12:03

Tami Christiansen

I'd love to have this up and running by the time we start solids ... I'm voting for similar to medicine but with a place to add foods, an allergy check box and a chart that lists foods with thebox checked

February 09, 2011 00:47

Christy Zuehl

I've been adding an other for each new food. The solid food would be good if you could select from a list you could manually add to. Things like fresh vs store bought, oz eaten, reaction, etc. would be nice too. I like the individual items because I can track how much she is eating by food. A generic other of solid food doesn't tell me enough.

Tara Zimmer

This would be a VERY useful feature, please add it soon!

February 15, 2011 19:52

Debbie Rivera

This would be wonderful. I babysit and would like to give mommy a daily update.

I'd like to see this feature added as well.

February 18, 2011 12:46

Lynne Mois

This is a great idea, the doctors always want to know consumption and I would like to keep track especially for food allergies

February 21, 2011 12:33

Great idea, please add soon

I agree. I'm currently tracking it under other as well.

March 01, 2011 09:50

Paola Rosenbaum

Excellent idea. Please add something to track solid food. Currently keeping track of the solids under other activities.

March 05, 2011 12:17

Sierra Killpack

Yes, solid tracking please! I'd be happy with a when and how much only...could do without all the 'reactions', as we're past that stage.

March 06, 2011 10:39

Amy Mitschke

Love the idea! This would be great to help me track my twin girls!

March 06, 2011 16:26

Please add this feature!!

Delia Summerfield

I would like to option to integrate a feeding button with the bottle button so I can know when was the last time the baby had something in his tummy.

April 04, 2011 11:50

Christina Garner

I would love this addition too! Right now I am just using an "activity" I made and downloaded a gerber baby picture for the icon. :)

April 04, 2011 16:55

Meridith Hamar

I also would love a solid food feature. I added an "other" and call it baby food and just keep track of what he ate for lunch and dinner. I have an almost 9month old and I think once he is closer to a yr, he will be eating table food ill prob not keep track but while he's on baby food from the store and they only have so many to offer, its nice to keep track so he's not always eating the same fruits or veggies

April 05, 2011 22:03

Michelle Horn

It would be nice to also track what mommy ate when she is breastfeedng. My son has more spit up more some days than others. It would be nice to know what I am eating that is causing it.

April 06, 2011 23:29

Rodney Saye

We like the baby esp app and would like to use in as our child gets older. Can you copy the bottle template for milk, juice and food? We do not need the timer but do want to track the amount. I have tried the “other… add activity” and the notes to track the amounts but does not report .

April 12, 2011 22:56

this it good!

Absolutely fab idea. I've started weaning so that option would definitely be very useful. Please please please.

Wow, if that is updated this application will need to be rated as 6 stars. Im really really happy with the options we have now, but that will be absolutely faboulous. Thanks

Add this feature! I would love to keep using Baby ESP even after weaning.

I would love this. I'm currently using the bottle feed for it right now. Some of the suggestions sound awesome. Please add soon. I check back here daily to see if there is anything new.

July 14, 2011 20:33

erica de Leon

please, oh please add the solid food choice/feature!!

July 17, 2011 21:57

Jessica Jones

Love this idea! Desperately need it! My son is diagnosed as failure to thrive and I have to track everything he eats and the calories of everything consumed. This would be great appreciated!!!!

July 21, 2011 10:42

Patti Milan

I was really surprised when I started solids (today) with my baby and this wasn't already a feature. I am using "Other" to track it but am already lamenting the fact that I won't be able to track trends the way I can with bottle feeding.

July 22, 2011 23:09

Amy Mitschke

Can you Please, Please, Please add this to your program! This would really help us out! Thank you!!!!

July 22, 2011 23:34

Terri Gardiner

I desperately need this feature. My child has allergies and I'd love to be able to track this.

July 24, 2011 17:30

Alyssa Swan

Please add this. I just emailed for this and then found this features request. I live by this app but will need a different way to track solids if its not added. Please.

July 27, 2011 21:08

Michelle Solomon

I've just emailed about this as well, it would be a great addition.

August 04, 2011 10:08

Julia Specht

Great idea, thought of it, too :-)! We are using "others" to note it! Would be a fantastic addition to bottles! Babies grow up and turn to solid food so you MUST add this, please!!!! :-)))

August 05, 2011 16:59

Mary Fitt

We track solids as an "other" so you can time it then record what etc in the notes. It's not perfect but it was how I recorded my pumping too as I'd stopped bf-ing before that facility was added

August 06, 2011 09:02

Katharine Malone

Fab idea, much like the others here, i'm recording it under the 'other' tab & then using the journal..

August 08, 2011 09:22

Priscilla Tolhurst

That would be great and very helpful, I hope they add this feature. I start solids in a month

August 09, 2011 12:39

Nicole Henderson

I really need this feature. My little one is on solids now and I would love to know when I introduced what as well as how much he ate. Please add it ASAP!

August 13, 2011 18:40

Karla Earley

I am adding this information under other.

August 14, 2011 02:05

Ryn Joyes

This is a brilliant idea. I currently track her food through the "other" button. It would be really nice if the different types of feed could be tracked together so that we can see how long it was since she was fed, regardless of what it was. This would really help those who are combination feeding as well as during weaning.

August 19, 2011 06:21

Joy Engberg

Completely agree and wish it would happen sooner rather than later as my daughter is starting solids soon.

August 19, 2011 22:01

Ariel sahota

Such a necessity! I have 2 babies that are 13 months apart. Remembering which baby likes/dislikes what and how they reacted is such a pain. Not to mention when my son started losing weight I had to track his input this would have been so useful! Please add!

August 20, 2011 23:38

Ashley Payne

Sent this in as a request not realizing it had Already been made lol.

September 02, 2011 14:56

+1. I would like to register amount (in grams). Maybe additional info about how much she ate of the portion. Perhaps a smiley icon to show how it went.

September 03, 2011 05:43

Rhonda Denmark

Our daughter is delayed & has nutrition issues, it would be great to track this info for us & for our visit to the nutritionist. For now we have just added it to the list.

September 27, 2011 01:06

Karen Barbera

This would be a fantastic feature!!!! Please please please add this!

September 27, 2011 17:50

Jessica Teixeira

Just add.. no need to say more. :)

October 17, 2011 21:23

Dana Pritchett

Having it as an option for charting and reminders alone would be great. Right now I am using bottle for solids so I can chart it, and just afding the info to the notes section.

October 24, 2011 23:44

Jilean Chandler

This is a MUCH needed option. I love love love this app but it needs to grow more with baby!

October 29, 2011 10:43

Peter Hewitt

Baby ESP

We are just starting to work on a solids tracker, most likely it will be in a 1.7 release.

We are still working on what exactly what features we'll add for tracking solids and what information can go in a general notes field.

One idea I have that would be neat but perhaps overkill would be to allow barcode scanning of baby food UPC labels to quickly record a new type of food. What do you all think, would you use that?

November 03, 2011 13:50

Jilean Chandler

I think bar code would be nice for those feeding commercial baby food...not so helpful for those of us making our own food. But I beg of you, don't wait to release it!bar code scanner can be added later!

November 03, 2011 14:10

Erin Cox

I agree. We make 99% of our baby food, so the barcode scanner wouldn't be a big deal for us. If you want to add it, sounds great, but don't delay the release for it. I'm very much looking forward to this update. Thank you!

November 03, 2011 14:16

Patti Milan

I agree that a barcode scanner would be a great addition (and I would absolutely use it) but honestly I would rather have the core functionality sooner and wait for the bar code scanner later. I really miss being able to trend solid foods the way I can trend bottle feeding.

November 03, 2011 14:17

Andrea Isla

It would be great for those who are not making their own food. But as for delaying the upgrade just for that, not a good idea. We want it now. :)

November 03, 2011 14:21

Jessica Budd

I think the scanner probably wouldnt get enough use to justify the time/effort in adding it. If you would like to add, please add the basic functionality first so we don't have to wait

November 03, 2011 18:30

Aryel Reish

would be a great feature should totally add it

November 11, 2011 22:35
