Once live sync is connected, anything checked off on one phone shows up on the other automatically. If it's not connected, you can still move data over manually:
On the device that has the data, tap Download backup below.
Send that file to your other device (email, text, AirDrop, cloud drive — whatever's easiest).
Open this tracker on the other device, tap Restore from backup, and pick the file.
Restoring replaces whatever is already saved on that device, so download a backup from it first if it has anything you want to keep.

Before you start: introduce one new food at a time (waiting a couple of days between new allergens like egg, dairy, peanut, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish) and watch for any reaction. Skip honey and unpasteurized foods before age one, and avoid choking hazards like whole nuts, whole grapes, or hard raw pieces — serve mashed, thinly sliced, or ground instead. When in doubt, check with your baby's pediatrician.

Not a fan 😖
General starting points for introducing solids \u2014 every baby moves through these at their own pace, so treat this as a rough map, not a schedule.
Around 6 months
Start with thin purees or very soft mashes, offered once or twice a day, after milk (breast or formula) rather than instead of it. Don't expect much to actually get eaten at first — this stage is mostly about exploring taste and texture. Iron-rich foods matter here: a baby's iron stores from birth start dropping around this age, so fortified cereal, pureed meat, lentils, and beans are worth prioritizing early on.
7–9 months
Move toward thicker mashed or minced textures with some lumps, and start offering soft finger foods for self-feeding — steamed vegetable sticks, ripe soft fruit, strips of toast. This is also a good window to introduce an open or straw cup with water at meals. Most babies are up to 2–3 solid meals a day by the end of this stretch, alongside milk feeds.
9–12 months
Textures can move toward chopped, bite-sized table food, with more finger foods and some early practice with a spoon. Three meals plus a snack or two is common. Milk is often still the bulk of nutrition, but solids are playing a bigger role by now.
Good habits at every stage
Introduce one new food at a time, and give it a couple of days before the next new one, so a reaction is easy to trace back.
Skip honey and unpasteurized foods before 12 months.
Watch for choking hazards — whole nuts, whole grapes, popcorn, and hard raw chunks are easier to manage cut small, sliced thin, or cooked soft.
None of this is a strict rulebook. If something here doesn't match what your baby's pediatrician has recommended for them specifically, follow their guidance instead.
A quick reference for the big three things to watch for at this age: allergens, choking hazards, and foods to hold off on. General information, not personalized advice \u2014 check with your baby's pediatrician about anything you're unsure of.
Allergen check
Based on what's checked off across your 100 foods, custom foods, and combos.
Choking hazards to know
Grapes, cherry tomatoes, cherries — quarter lengthwise, not just in half.
Whole nuts and seeds — serve as a smooth, thinned butter instead.
Popcorn — avoid entirely until at least age 4.
Hot dogs and sausages — cut lengthwise into thin strips, not coins.
Hard raw fruit or vegetable chunks — cook until soft, or grate/thin-slice if raw.
Hard candy, cough drops, gum — avoid entirely for infants and toddlers.
Marshmallows — a common choking hazard at any age for young kids; avoid.
Large chunks of meat or cheese — serve shredded, minced, or in thin strips.
Spoonfuls of peanut butter — thin it with water, breast milk, or formula first.
Tough dried fruit — chop finely or rehydrate until soft.
Hold off until after 12 months
Honey — risk of infant botulism before age 1.
Unpasteurized milk, juice, or cheese — risk of harmful bacteria.
Cow's milk as a main drink — fine in foods like yogurt or cheese, but not yet as a bottle/cup replacement for breast milk or formula.
