Because Parents Deserve A Quick & Healthy Guide to Feeding Baby
EXPERT-BACKED WITHOUT THE JARGON
Don’t get stuck in a food rut offering the same foods to baby! You CAN offer variety when you know HOW to do it! That’s why we created Baby’s First 100 Foods. We want to empower parents with the education they need to confidently start solids (and never run out of options!)

NAP-TRAPPED FRIENDLY DESIGN
After navigating bottle refusal professionally (and personally), I wanted parents to have the step-by-step support they need to get through this stressful time. I created Eat Play Say because I want to give parents accessible educational resources with real answers.
All of our resources are mobile-friendly, never expire, and cut through the chaos so you can parent with clarity instead of confusion.

ABOUT EAT PLAY SAY
What a great resource this has been for us so far. It’s helping us navigate and take some stress away from starting solids! Not only does it tell us exactly how to prepare their food but it is helping us keep track of what foods our babies have tried ( including top allergens) as well as the nutrition information on each food!
"I wanted to be sure that my baby was developmentally ready before introducing food."
As a busy mom of two, I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate the Eat Play Say's First 100 Foods Guide! I had forgotten some of the steps I took with my first child, who is now 6 years old, and was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the idea of starting solids with my baby. This resource is going to be a lifesaver in so many ways!
"I was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the idea of starting solids with my second baby"
The First Bites Checklist gave me confidence my baby was ready for solids, and the allergen tracker on my fridge is a lifesaver. I can easily check off foods, note dates, and track reactions—especially reassuring with a family history of allergies. So helpful!
"This gave me confidence my baby was ready for solids, and the allergen tracker on my fridge is a (literal) lifesaver."
