Family Meal Planner
Know what’s Next to try, what’s been Tried, and what’s on Avoid — then keep the ones that went well in the weekly plan, not lost in a notebook.
The loop
Guidance in the UK supports introducing common allergens in the weaning window, then keeping them in the diet when tolerated. A one-off try that never comes back isn’t enough. This tracker is built for that loop: introduce → log → repeat on the plan.
Read the official pages — Family Meal Planner is a planning system, not clinical advice. Speak to your GP or health visitor if you have concerns.
NHS Start for Life: baby food allergiesAllergy UK: weaning onto solids
Foods
Queued for this week — egg, peanut, lentils, or whatever you’re ready to offer.
How many offers, and what happened, so a one-off try isn’t lost.
Hard avoid for the household, checked when you plan recipes — useful later for packed lunches too.
Log outcomes from Today in a couple of taps. The plan carries both baby meals and family dinners so allergens don’t live in a separate app.
Built for Britain
Many allergen apps speak “top 9” and FDA language. Here the product is built for British weaning families: stages in months, household Avoid (useful for packed lunches later), and a planner that still works when tracking steps back at school age.
On the plan
Egg can land on Wednesday’s baby lunch and sit beside the family meal.
It stays in rotation, so tolerated foods keep coming back on the plan.
Recipes and plans respect it — you are not hunting through a separate diary.
Grows with your family
Add each child's date of birth once. The planner knows when a baby is ready for solids, when a toddler starts sharing family dinners, and when a school-ager's food tracking can quietly step aside. Nothing to switch off, nothing to set up again.
01 · Baby
0–6 monthsMilk only, and a lot of guessing about when solids start. You are planning for the grown-ups and getting ready for first tastes.
Queue first foods on Next so you are ready the day they are. Baby meal times sit alongside family dinners from day one.
02 · Weaning
6–12 monthsFirst tastes, then lumps, then cut-up family food — with allergens introduced one at a time and kept in the diet.
Track every introduction, repeat, and reaction. Log outcomes from Today in a couple of taps and let the plan carry both baby and family meals.
03 · Toddler
1–3 yearsSitting at the table for family meals, with a fussy phase or two. It can take a dozen offers before a new food lands.
Keep widening variety — repeat tries show on every food, Avoid stays on the plan, and early dinners are still an option.
04 · Preschooler
3–5 yearsStrong opinions, small portions, and a real interest in helping. Fussy eating tends to peak around now.
Food tracking stays on so you can see what is stuck on Next and what has finally landed. Family recipes are the default.
05 · School age
5–12 yearsPacked lunches, school dinners, after-school hunger, and appetites that grow fast from around ten.
Food tracking quietly steps back — nothing to switch off. Avoid stays for allergies, and the week turns into lunchboxes, snacks, and bigger portions.
06 · Teen
12–18 yearsBigger appetites, busier evenings, and a growing say in what and when they eat.
Plan around their schedule, keep their favourites and own recipes in the library, and let Nibble suggest quick meals they can cook themselves.
Every child has their own stage, lists, and Avoid tags — so a new baby and a ten-year-old share one plan, one shopping list, and one Nibble that knows the difference.

“What can we add this week that’s still on Next?” — answers respect age, stage, and Avoid tags, so you’re not juggling a PDF diary and a separate meal app. Nibble is the kitchen helper in the same household as the plan.

FAQ
It helps you note which foods you’ve offered as part of everyday meal planning — using Next, Tried and Avoid. It is a household planning aid, not a diagnosis tool or clinical allergy service.
No. Family Meal Planner does not diagnose allergies, assess risk or replace professional care. For personal advice on introducing allergens or any reaction concerns, speak to your GP or health visitor. See NHS Start for Life and Allergy UK for trusted guidance.
Start with NHS Start for Life on weaning and introducing foods, and Allergy UK for allergy information and support. If you have a family history of allergy or your baby has eczema or other concerns, ask your GP or health visitor before introducing allergens at home. https://www.nhs.uk/start-for-life/ · https://www.allergyuk.org/
You plan the week as usual, then mark foods you’ve offered. That sits alongside Next / Tried / Avoid and your shared household stages — so introductions stay visible next to real dinners, not on a separate forgotten list.
You can explore on Free and use the live demo with no signup. Full is £7.99 a month or £59 a year and unlocks the complete shared-household planner so everyone caring for your child can see the same notes.
Yes. In a shared household, parents and carers can keep one calm record of what’s Next, what’s been Tried, and what you’re Avoiding for now — so partners aren’t guessing at tea time.
Stop and seek medical advice. For urgent symptoms, call 999. For non-urgent concerns, contact your GP, health visitor or NHS 111. Family Meal Planner cannot assess reactions; use it only as a planning notebook after you’ve followed professional advice.
See Next / Tried / Avoid with no sign-in — then start free for one child.
