For parents who take turns cooking
No more same-again meals.
Highchair Chef keeps one shared record of what your baby eats and likes right now, whoever did the feeding, with easy ideas to mix up the menu.
The whole week, in one place
Oatmeal again?
When you take turns at the stove, neither of you sees the whole week. Highchair Chef does.
A meal logged on your iPhone shows up on your partner's. When one food keeps coming back, Today says so and offers something different.
How it works
Log it at the table. You're both up to date.
A few taps while the spoon is still in your other hand.
Snap the plate, tap how it went
A photo before and after, then a tap for each food. With Plus, the foods and amounts fill in from the photos, and your first 3 analysed meals are free.
Your partner sees it too
Every meal syncs through iCloud, so you both know what was eaten, who fed it and how it went. Foods keeps what your baby likes right now.
Mix up the next meal
PlusIdeas for a new look, a swap or something new, built from the foods your baby already eats, with the reason for each one.
The critic
Tastes change. The critic keeps up.
Each food gets a face for how it went this time. Highchair Chef counts the tries and suggests when to offer it again, so a refusal today is just one try.
The food guide
Built on official advice.
The guide draws on the World Health Organization's 2023 guideline on feeding babies from 6 to 23 months, and on the NHS, the CDC, the FDA, the American Academy of Pediatrics and pediatric nutrition textbooks. Allergen notes draw on ASCIA's allergy prevention guideline, and food safety agencies in Asia and Europe add notes on regional foods.
